Wooded hilltop preserve with mixed hardwoods, rocky outcrops and short trails that offer intimate forest scenes and local summit vistas—strong for fall color, quiet sunrise/sunset shots and seasonal textures. Easy access from Middletown with informal parking at the trailhead, no entry fees. Best at golden hour or after rain for saturated greens; weekdays and early mornings have few people. Trails are moderate—wear hiking shoes; shuttle gear in a daypack.
