When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, you'll find more miles of hiking trails than you'll ever know what to do with here in the Empire State. While many of our residents may seek out our state's tallest mountaintops or our most epic waterfall trails, others like to head outside to enjoy even more secluded, and slightly eerie destinations that have been taken over by Mother Nature throughout the years. If this sounds like something right up your alley, then see what it's like to hike through this abandoned Girl Scout Camp!
All the way out in Western New York where you're right along 3,500-feet of Lake Ontario's shoreline, an abandoned camp and state park has been left to be overrun by Mother Nature in the small town of Sodus.
Beechwood State Park of Wayne County is an outdoor adventure unlike most that you'll experience here in New York.
Back in 1929, Beechwood State Park began as a Girl Scout camp that back in the day used to cost over $80,000 dollars a year to maintain.
Today, you'll find New Yorkers exploring the abandoned camps and structures of the former Girl Scout camp along the park's 1.8-mile long loop trail. Yes, even with their face masks and gloves!
Visitors today can hike through this easy-to-navigate park trail that will lead you past abandoned cabins and yes, even Beechwood's old pool.
An abandoned adventure that all skill levels of hikers can enjoy, you'll find people making their way out to this little-known park between the months of March and November.
If you're looking to go for a hike that may raise the hairs on the back of your neck, then see what it's like to go for an eerie hike through Beechwood State Park in Sodus, New York.
