Snoopers Rock is the best place to go for amazing views! You will find it almost at the end of game reserve road(which turns into Tower Drive) on the left. There is a small gravel road on the left with a grassy field with an outhouse in the back of it. You'll start the trail on the small gravel road that takes you down to Snoopers Rock. Quick and easy hike to Snoopers but you can continue on the trail for however long you'd like to the left of the rock. Don't type in Prentice Cooper State Forest into your gps or Snoopers Rock, it will take you to the wrong place. Make sure you type in Tower Drive into the gps. That will take you close to the Snooper Rock trail head. It is about 35 minutes from our house.
