Great place to walk. Avoid the paths not paved after inclement weather. Accessible to everyone for free. Many informative billboards along the way giving the history of Mt. Loretto, the pavilion, the grotto and wildlife. In the Raritan Bay you may see seals resting on the rocks or swimming by. Bird watching! Please don't feed the animals. Wooden benches to relax.
Gorgeous grounds! Lovely trails and much beauty to be seen. Many types of wildlife and different types of ecosystems all in one huge park. Very relaxing and a great place to take a walk and unwind with nature.
I've seen so a number of people post pretty pictures of a pond and other nice locations, but i was not able to see any of those places..
I went on a trail and was attacked by mosquitoes from the start till the end.
Although it was torturous, it was hilarious.
However, i do not recommend coming here around this time of the year.

Love this area of Staten Island. If you're relatively quiet you can watch the groundhogs at the edge of the fields. There are a few nice trails, both paved and not, and you can walk along the beach.
Mount Loretto State Forest has been beautifully renovated in recent times. It’s a great place to go and forget that you’re in Staten Island. Wonderful for dogs as well.
Lovely park. Nice ranger. Watch out for ticks but thats anywhere on staten island. Saw a dozen ground hogs and bunnies. An osprey. Just a nice day.
This place is beautiful, peaceful,serene, well kept and much better cared for than the Conference House Park. Wish it was bigger but it's still a great place to go for a walk and spy on nature. Looking out over the water to the Highlands you would swear you were a hundred miles away. A real treasure.
