The Fillmore Glen Gorge Trail is an approx. 2.5 to 4 mile trail. This can be done either all together as a loop, or you can do the lower gorge and then drive up to the top and then do the upper trail. Plan on at least spending 2 hours for the entire park.
Trail Update: The Gorge Trail and Cowsheds Trail are closed for the season and will reopen in 2022
