This forever-protected 174-acre public preserve, located in the Village of Dover Plains, features more than four miles of hiking trails leading to a natural rock formation called the Dover Stone Church. The “church” is formed by a fissure in the metamorphic rock through which the Stone Church Brook flows, forming a number of ledges and beautiful waterfalls that descend into a pool below. The outlet of the stream is through a stately arch, which forms the cathedral-like entrance, giving this special attraction its name. This property has significant cultural and historical significance for the residents of Dover, with wonderful stories and legends about earlier days.

Trail Length: 3.5 Miles plus Loop

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. The carpool assignment sheet will be posted two days before the hike as a comment. It will be a link to a google spreadsheet.
2. If you are assigned a carpool, please ensure that you reach out to the driver to confirm all details (pickup location and time) at least a day before the hike. If you don’t reach out, the driver will assume that you are not attending.
3. Please ensure that you clearly list if you need a carpool and at which preferred location. For those driving, please clearly state how many passengers you would like to assist and your preferred location.
4. If at any time, I need to reach out you to confirm details and I am unable to message you on meetup, I will not assign you a carpool. Best way to avoid this? Send me a direct message that you’ll be attending this hike.
5. Please RSVP responsibly, there is an actual human (me) trying to ensure that everyone is able to attend and that takes time. If you plan to late cancel or not show up, don’t sign up. It takes an opportunity away for someone else to join and my time.
