Review:
The Purgatory Chasm State Reservation is a protected natural area offering views of several unique geological formations, outdoor recreation and basic facilities with a 100-acre park.
Hike a half mile to visit the 70-foot deep chasm between the glacial rocks with names like Devil’s Coffin, Devil’s Corn Crib and Lover’s Leap.
While geologists say the fissures were caused 14,000 years ago when a glacier let loose a gush of water, legends abound about Native American gods, devil-like actions and 17th century murder.
Outside of the 2-miles of trails, facilities at the park include picnic areas, playgrounds, grilling stations, restrooms and concessions.
