This 70 acre property was once owned by George Westinghouse as part of his estate known as Erskine Park . His house was in Lenox near Laurel Lake (a neighbor of Edith Wharton) and his farmland extended across the road to the Golden Hill area. In 1939 George Westinghouse, Jr. donated this parcel to the Town of Lee.
Here is where you’ll find the highest peaks in Lee at about 1220’ elevation. The Pinnacle has views to October Mt., Highlawn Farm and Laurel Lake.
This is truly an enchanted geologic world. Easy loop trails guide you through the boulders, ledges, outcrops, wildflowers and old trees. These are all season trails.
In the early 1960’s this was a vibrant picnic spot with pavilion, stone fireplace and even electricity! Today, that area is the open field.
DIRECTIONS: Drive up Golden Hill Road which is off Rt.20 (Laurel Street) near Laurel Lake. Just up the curve, the parking area is on the right.
