Afton Alps Entrance

Highlight • Parking

There is a trail that connects the hiking trails of Afton State Park to Afton Alps. It has signs saying Do Not Enter, but I wanted to see the ski runs and how they were melting.

Trout Brook flows through the park, and this is a great place to relax on a bench and listen to it burble over the rocks.

Neat area that they are trying to re-wild the creek. Planting a ton of trees. Neat new hexagon picnic table and bridge with horse crossing in the creek.
