Beautiful park with variety of trails and scenic views…read more Harriman State Park has been one of our family's all-time favorites for the past 25 years, offering spectacular foliage and awesome hikes of different difficulty levels and lengths. The park features lakes, panoramic views, and scenic drives, making it a perfect destination just outside New York City. We highly recommend Harriman State Park for anyone seeking nature, forest hikes, and stunning views.

I picked this trail out a while back, which in fact is part of the Wappingers Greenway Trail. This…read moretrail has four trailheads, considering it's a long trail that covers 2.73 miles. Only two trailheads provide parking while the other two don't. Along the way, there's plenty to take in, specifically the beautiful scenery paralleling Wappinger Creek and the view looking south toward the Hudson River. Some places are a bit steep and the edges are narrow as well - proceed with caution. We personally enjoyed our walk, and highly recommend it. The only issue that needs to be fixed is the bridge, located near the Market Street trailhead.

Love this trail. It used to span from Goshen to the Monroe area but it has been extended into the…read moreMiddletown area. You could start here and bike or hike 20 miles or less depending on your fitness level. Trail is well paved for both walking, hiking and biking with seating along the route for breaks. There doesn't seem to be a clear spot to park at this entry point but it's a city type area so street parking can very likely be found. There are spots to eat in this immediate area to reward yourself after a vigorous walk or bike.

Getting to the peak has loads of great views. Some places on the trail is pretty unclear where to go, as we ended going off the trail. It took a bit to notice, and I was asking to my friend, "where's the red marker?" 15 minutes in (see photo). We ended up turning around. Silly us. Just keep an eye out for it on the tree barks. If someone's not in best shape, it's good to stop once in awhile to catch a breath. Go slow in areas where it's very steep. On a side note, *Definitely bring water bottles.* We never got to the end of the trail, but that will be for another trip.

So the parking lot is kind of small, there's room for just a handful of cars. Next, no maps or…read moreinformational posts were available and one of the trails had no tree markers. It was very confusing and we were unsure where we would end up. We got to a nice overlook and stayed there for a while then turned back. We didn't finish the whole trail because we didn't even know where to go. It took us 3 hrs roundtrip to the mountain overlook and back to the parking lot. Very uphill and rocky trails and slippery with all the leaves. Definitely not a walk in the park

I have grown up in Goshen my entire life and never knew this place was so close by! It was a great…read moreafternoon adventure for those that are avid hikers or those looking to try something new. We parked at the lot off of Clover Rd. I warn you it's super small and people seem to get a little creative with parking spots as the day goes on. I would recommend a morning hike or later in the afternoon in order to find a spot. You can't park anywhere on Clover or will risk getting a ticket! The white trail is located just down the road from the parking lot. There is a sign with the trail map so I recommend snapping a picture is printing a copy from home, there weren't any available when we arrived. The trails are moderately well marked. When in doubt you can usually tell you are going the right way from the walked on path, there is a lot of brush around you that will make it clear if you've gone off the path. We walked up the white and started part of the orange trail to get to the top views and ended up back down the same way given the time. It was about 6 miles and 3 hours. Keep in mind there is no restrooms or information center so be prepared! Happy hiking!

Slightly rocky areas but our dog loved this! Definitely wear long pants because there's lots of tall grass. A pretty chill hike with lots of flowers and nature.
