Do not confuse with My Loretto unique area thats south of the forest and south of Hylan Blvd. The North Mt Loretto forest is a state land, managed by state rangers. There was one on patrol when we visited, which makes you feel more secure. The feel of the place is great. The forest has well kept trails and a map at the entrance. The entrance is not from Hylan Blvd, but from the Northern side of the forest - Annoy Rd. The landscape along the trails varies from wooded areas to small ponds with ducks peacefully basking in the sun. I recommend taking all the trails, as they are not long at all. It is hard to get lost, because all trails are loops, returning to the main road which leads to the parking lot.

This is an incredibly breathtaking place. I really DONt want to review it because I want to keep it a secret. From the big lighthouse topped bluff to the woodlands and fields, you would never believe that you are standing within the territory of NYC. They have made vast improvements as of late. I just love the vibe and history of this place. I have seen deer, snakes, bald eagles, falcons, snapping turtles and many other creatures in this place. One of Staten Islands best kept secrets. Sledding in the winter, too!
