PARK RULES
The vast majority of our visitors, from young children to senior citizens, have a safe and enjoyable experience; however, accidents may result in serious injury or death.

You are responsible for your own safety! Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Do not leave children or youth in the scenic rock area without adequate, responsible supervision. Do not run - there are cliffs!

Wear footwear suitable for hiking – we strongly advise against wearing flip-flops, cowboy boots, or high heels. The trail is not stroller accessible nor wheelchair accessible; we recommend a backpack type carrier for small children.

Pets are allowed on a leash. They must be friendly to strangers and we do not allow any pet on the upper trail (by the cliffs).

Leave No Trace: Please do not pick flowers, plants, or fungi, break tree branches, remove moss from the rocks, or otherwise disturb flora and fauna in the park. Do not litter and do not carve into our trees.

No Rappelling On Holiday Weekends: Rappelling is allowed but not on holiday weekends or during festivals. Please do not damage native flora – no rappelling down moss covered cliffs, etc.

Keep Noise Low: Radios, etc., are restricted to the picnic area and we ask that the volume be kept low.

Why is there an admission fee?

All parks cost money to run. State parks are funded by taxes, and in some cases also by admission and parking fees. Panama Rocks, which is privately owned and operated, has been funded by guest admissions since 1885.

Panama Rocks operates on about 10% of the budget of the average New York State Park; however, the park still costs more than $150,000 to operate each year (taxes, insurance, maintenance, equipment, payroll, marketing, etc.).

If you wonder whether visiting Panama Rocks is worth the price of admission, we suggest checking out independent guest reviews on Google and TripAdvisor. Our guests overwhelmingly say “YES!”

As always, we greatly appreciate your kind support of Panama Rocks and we hope you enjoy your time with us!
