Considered to be the main attraction of the Bedford Reservation, The Tinkers Creek Gorge Overlook is a view that is lucky to exist. In the 1960’s there were local lawmakers who wanted to dam up the Tinkers Creek Gorge, turning it into a deep 150-acre recreational lake. The proposed idea garnered a lot of support, but luckily didn’t pass and the gorge remained untouched. The Tinkers Creek Gorge was designated as a National Natural Landmark and drops over 200 feet over the span of 2 miles within the park. The overlook itself takes in a panoramic view of the valley from the rim of the gorge, and is especially spectacular in fall, when vibrant fall colors blanket the valley in a sea of orange and red.
