We are incredibly grateful for our many visitors who help keep Panama Rocks open to the public and for their amazing reviews and feedback which has made the Panama Rocks so highly ranked on various travel review sites.”

Panama Rocks, located at 11 Rock Hill Road, Panama, was established in 1885 before the State Park system was created; Niagara Falls was the first State Park in the United States and was also founded in 1885.

The area quickly became a popular tourist destination when the park was established.

Panama Rocks is entirely funded by its guests through a small admission fee. In the early 20th Century, Panama Rocks hosted famous guests such as James Ward Packard, who visited the park on his honeymoon, and Thomas Edison.

The main trail at Panama Rocks is about 1 mile long, but guests can hike and explore off-trail at their own risk. While the main trail is a hiking trail, it is accessible to guests who can walk a mile on uneven ground.

Panama Rocks is open daily from the first weekend of May through the last weekend of October from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit PanamaRocks.com.
