On the west rim of the canyon, the 368-acre Colton Point State Park resonates with the rustic charm of the Civilian Conservation Corps era of the 1930s. The rugged overlooks offer great views of the canyon.

"Fun with the Family"

Perhaps the easiest way to get a glimpse of the Pine Creek Gorge is to head southfrom US 6 at Ansonia. There’s a sign there that directs you to the park. The drive folows the rim, with short trails that lead to views over the canyon. Although there are guardrails at official overlooks, make sure children don’t run ahead or roughhouse near the edge.
