Want to see a waterfall? This is a locals secret. Park in the main parking area and follow the Tall Trees Trail. You'll see enormous old trees and have to cross some rickety boards. Stay to the left then you come to a divergence of trails and be careful going down as it's quite steep/slippery. Wear good shoes, and use caution. We think this is a short (but steep) hike worth taking as it leads to a gorgeous waterfall and little swimming hole. Shhhhh. This is a locals secret! Make sure to carry out all you carry in and take good care of yourself and the beautiful surroundings.

Wat je mee moet nemen
What to bring
The cabin is well equipped but you should definitely bring sunscreen and bug spray if you plan to get outdoors! Also, I recommend slippers if you like toasty feet.
Vervoersmogelijkheden
No car? Trains and taxi info
If you're traveling up by train, metro north to cold spring is a good plan. If traveling light, I recommend exploring Main Street when you arrive (a 5 min walk from train) and perhaps walk up the the Foodtown to gather provisions before calling an Uber to go to the cabin. There used to be taxis at the train station too but with cover they are now few and far between. If you have no interest in exploring from the train you can also get off at Garrison station (the one prior to cold spring) but it's a smaller station with fewer uber/taxis.
Vervoersmogelijkheden
Trolley
There is a local trolley that goes down Main Street in cold spring has local stops at Boscobel, Constitution Marsh, Manitoba and more! It's only $2. Limited seasonal availability so check online for complete details.
