At an elevation of 1,788 feet, Sunset Rock is the main overlook within Taconic State Park. The trail reaching the overlook is a pretty steady climb that is primarily locked in the trees, so the overlook is a welcomed sight. There is a short spur trail at the mountain's high point that leads to this rocky outcrop.

If you decide to hike down the gully on the Blue Trail, you will eventually make it to the Claverack Creek. If you follow the creek a couple hundred feet up stream, you will be at the base of High Falls. This is a cool place to view the cascades, but don't get too close to the actual falls since there is a strong undertow where the water comes down.

This spot marks the upper viewing area for High Falls. There is another, lower viewing area from the base of the falls that requires hiking down a pretty rocky trail. This viewpoint is the most visited in the High Falls Conservation Area and offers views of the year round cascade.

From here you get a great view of the Hudson River and the island in the middle of the river; the island technically goes by the name Middle Ground Flats Unique Area and is frequented by fishermen and boaters.

Sutherland Pond is a small body of water in the Ooms Conservation Area. There is a trail that circles around the lake and travels through nearby wetland environments. Beavers, birds, and fish are common sightings, especially once you get on the southern side of the pond away from the road.

There are informational signs posted outside the barn talking about the history of the land and the structure.

This spot on the trail offers a great view of the lake. The Lake Road path circles around the lake and offers spotty views whenever there are breaks in the trees.
