Duff Park

Duff Park is a 148-acre natural area located in hilly, heavily wooded terrain. It runs parallel to Route 22 and its main entrance is off School Road about 1000 feet south of the intersection with Route 22. There are numerous trails that can be used for a relaxing walk or a strenuous workout. The Funk Trail that runs along Turtle Creek and crosses it twice provides a flat walking and biking trail for about 1.5 miles and then goes up an incline until it reaches Round Top Road. The other trails provide the walker or biker with easy walking to strenuous climbs depending on the route chosen. Round Top Trail also connects to Round Top Road less than a mile west of Bessie Staymates Log House. There is a pavilion that provides a quiet site for a picnic or may be rented for group activities.

Duff park is known for having one of the best displays of woodland Spring flowers including trilliums, wake robins, dutchman's breeches, trout lillies, spring beauty, hepatica, and many others.  The flowers can be viewed in April/May along the Funk Trail or most any other of the hiking trails in the park.  It is a great place for photographing flowers.
