The most remote part of the Rockefeller Preserve, Raven's Rock is an awesome geological find and a place of Hudson Valley legend. Well worth the lengthy hike

This is an excellent out-of-the-way hike in the Rockefeller Preserve. Use the preserve trail map to figure out how to hike to the Ravens Rock trail head and be prepared for a couple of miles of walking from where your car is parked to get to the starting point. From the Ravens Rock trailhead (clearly marked with a sign on blue post) it's only about half a mile to the rock, first fairly steep down and then a bit gentle up. The trail itself is smooth, wide and safe. As you can see from the photos the rock itself is impressive. Once you get to the base of the rock you can opt to follow a rougher trail leading up along the left side to the top. The trail ends at the rock and be forewarned it's mostly uphill on the way back. Highly recommended if you're willing to do 6+ miles and a bit of elevation change.
