Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, Mine Hill was a 19th-century iron mine and furnace complex. These historic structures are located 0.2 miles from the kiosk near the parking lot. At the complex, interpretive signs detail the iron-making process, Mine Hill’s history, and its impact on the region. The Main Loop (blue blazes) is a moderately difficult, 3.5-mile trail.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the preserve is set on a former iron ore mine and blast furnace. Granite quarries on the property provided stones used in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central Station in New York City. A looping trail of under 4 miles will take hikers along the Donkey Trail (where donkeys used to pull ore wagons), past mine shafts and tunnels, and old mine and furnace foundations. Side trails will take hikers to the granite quarries.

The 3.5 mile main loop is a great hike exploring mine hill structures, quarries and more. Or, choose to do the shorter 1 mi loop.

Three intersecting trails that run through an old mining complex, some of which is still available to explore. Trails are well maintained but can be moderately steep. There are bat caves in the old mining shafts that you can look into. Parking is limited which is not usually a problem unless visiting during fall when this is a popular destination. As a bonus, maybe visit Mine Hill distillery in the beautifully restored building at base of dirt road that leads up to park.
