Pro Tip for Hiking at Indian Point Trail

Rattlesnakes occur here during the warm months. You can camp overnight along this trail, as it is in the wilderness. It’s best to visit this trail during non-leaf months, as you can see everything better, and there is less of a threat of encountering snakes unless you want to encounter them like we do.
