Camillus Forest Unique Area

I've been hiking at the Camilla's unique area for years with my dogs. I just love it there! There are so many different trails to take and the view at the top is beautiful!There are some hills to hike up, but it's definitely worth it. If you're looking for a good hiking place, I'd recommend this place for sure !

This is a beautiful spot with a gorgeous forest full of old growth trees. There's also excellent views down into the valley and into the city of Syracuse. This park is best enjoyed in the Spring before everything becomes overgrown - then it gets difficult to get through the fields and into the woods which are a bit of a walk (about a mile up to the woods). Great place to get away from it all even though you're surrounded by the town you'd hardly realize it.

A nice place to walk around. Some good view points that have descriptions of what you are looking at printed out to read. Trails are marked well. Extremely muddy in some places, so be sure to wear good boots. Found 3 ticks on me after leaving, so be wary of that.

Great little spot for some nature walking near the city.

Great hiking location featuring spectacular views and a good balance of open fields and forests. The trails are mostly clear but can get burried in leaves in some wooded sections.

We come here often and love it! I do have a problem though because someone littered a bunch of fake flowers that they were aparently celebrating something with and neglected to pick them up.

Love it here. Dogs love it as well. South trail still a little janky as of July 30 2018. Can't wait for bow season in a couple months!

Easily accessible. This is a great trail for getting young trekkers some experience. Trails are well marked loops. Much of the walking is on mowed grass near the hedge rows of former farm fields. There are some sections of trail under forest canopy as well. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys the outdoors and enjoys low impact adventure.

Great hike with some steep climbs to get your heart pumping. I was glad I wore my hiking boots. It was a bit muddy in some places. Beautiful view of the county's rolling hills from the top. No bathrooms. There is a local brewery 315 down the road to stop for a meal. Definately will go back again. It will be amazing in the fall I imagine!

Plenty of birds and wild flowers and trails to keep you and your dog happy

I really love this place. It's a good hike and close to home. Can get very muddy when it's wet, so boots are recommended. :) Some spots can be buggy. The field can be rough in the sun and heat, but you get a nice long woodsy walk to cool down.

Nice spot for a short hike. I was able to hike it with my son on my shoulders. The trail can be a little muddy at spots as others have noted. There are lots of open areas so I would recommend sunscreen.

Such a beautiful place th o anowshoe!!

I love hiking here but be aware that parts of the trail are extremely muddy and wet especially near the parking area. Wear good boots and check for ticks.

The old sugar maples here are truly gorgeous. If you're wanting to see trees this big without going all the way to the Adirondacks, the only nearby places I know of are here and Heath Park. Heath Park has less hiking involved, but this place is more ecologically interesting.

This is a great hike. Pro tip: be cognizant of trending Lyme & tic levels
….& wear deet… don’t risk it.

Great place for a 1/2 day hike. In spring, summer and fall, watch out for ticks! The unique area is loaded with them.

Great trails, with better views.

Very well marked trails. Plenty of parking.

Fun and relaxing walk for the family. Whole trail about 5 miles around. Could use a fresh blazing down the trail the hay is quite tall.
