Arrival & parking
Arrive at 113 Glessner Road, off Route 302 in Bethlehem, using the visitor parking by the Carriage Barn. The visitor center is listed as open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; accessible vestibule restrooms are available daily from dawn to dusk. Use the current campus and trail maps to choose your walk.
Walking & terrain
The Gozzo Rocks Loop is a published 1.8-mile moderate loop that begins and ends at The Rocks and includes the Beaver Pond Loop. The complete Michael A. Gozzo Trail is 4.6 miles with varied terrain; the 0.67-mile one-way South Road spur is difficult and steep. The 0.8-mile Christmas Tree Trail is rated easy, but is closed on weekdays April 1–November 20 for farm work. Choose the woodland loop or a shorter return walk on an open marked route. The property has an active maple-sugaring program; this guide does not identify one particular maple or assign it champion status.
Access, fees & seasons
Trails are open dawn to dusk, subject to posted closures and working-farm restrictions. The reviewed trail information does not state a general hiking admission price. Maple tours, events and Christmas tree purchases are separate activities; check their booking and prices directly. Stay on open routes and do not enter closed growing fields.
