Summary: This is a nice hike from the main road up to the Boulder Field, a National Natural Area. Walk around on teh boulders and just be amazed by the force of nature needed to move all these rocks then dump them here.

From the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, take Exit 95 and drive west on PA 940 for three miles then turn east on PA 534 for six miles.

Reviewed by Audrey on 3/29/2009 I take back part of the former comment. I took my girls, and they LOVED Boulder Field. My youngest, 5, took a little longer to traverse the rocks, but she really enjoyed it as well. Bring the kids. :)
Reviewed by Audrey on 3/27/2009 Hiked this with a few friends, was amazed by the vastness of the boulders/rocks... enjoyed the day, plan on returning with my older children. My boys, 9 & 10 years old would LOVE this. Due to some of the large gaps in the rocks, I don't know if I would bring my 5 & 7 year olds... but either way, I think it's a fun day at the park. If you drive in to just go to the field, the road is fairly long on a dirt road.
Reviewed by Sandy on 9/14/2007 Wow - boulder field was a sight to behold and the hikes were great; also did the sand springs trail and the stone trail. Beautiful day and got some great pictures. Boulder field is a must-see for everyone! 
Reviewed by TF on 5/12/2007 Awsome weather and an awsome trail added up for a great afternoon.
Reviewed by Kevin on 4/27/2007 Hiked the trail with my dad on a beutiful April weekend, and loved it. It was wet on some portions, but it was no problem.
Reviewed by mark on 11/29/2006 Hiked this trail with my wife and dog on a beautiful sunny November weekend. It was a very nice hike with virtually no one else on the trail...until we reached the boulder field. We didn't realize that there is a connector road that leads to the north end of the boulder field - people galore. It took a little away from theserenity we had hoped for, but would hike the trail again. Lower portion was very wet, so come prepared. Elevation change was slight. Toughest part of trail was that it is a typical Pocono Mountain rocky trail. Wear boots rather than shoes and enjoy!
Reviewed by alex on 10/6/2006 i love it! it was so fun, me and my friends climbed until the end!
Reviewed by maf on 4/28/2005 The ice storm in January 2005 caused a lot of downed trees across this trail. It is still passable, but will take longer than it has in the past.
