My wife and I have been there several times - but not in the last 5 years. The Ledges is on the Harriman Reservoir. The water level varies depending upon the time of year. It is about a 10-15 minute well-marked hike from the parking lot to the Ledges. It is mostly rocks so we always take a couple of low-boy lawn chairs. The people who visit are very friendly, but generically keep to themselves or their friends. The northern part is typically gay but everyone is welcome without any prejudice. There are no hassles about nudity. After your visit to the Ledges, the town of Wilmington is a fun place to wander around (with clothes) and a few good restaurants & antique stores. It's about 10 miles from Mt Snow which is a major ski resort in Vermont. If you are in the area, the Ledges is definitely worth a visit.
