Chimney Top is my favorite spot in Fahnestock State Park. It offers ruins of a old chimney and great views.
From Route 301, turn onto Dennytown Road. You will pass a parking lot on the left. Continue down the road and we will be parking in the second parking lot you pass, which is also on the left. This parking lot has an old small stone building next to it.
Our route will take us briefly on the red Catfish Loop trail, then we will turn left onto the yellow trail. We take the yellow trail 1.25 miles to the white blazed Chimney Top trail, where we will turn left. We follow that trail to the Chimney Top summit. We will return the way we came.
