Minnewaska Preserve, NY

With its 22,500 acres of cliffs, summits and plateaus, Minneswaska State Park Preserve is the uncut gem of the Palisades Interstate Park system. Its sapphire lakes, lapidary cliffs, soaring precipices, panoramic views, and forests of dwarf pitch pine and oak occupy the high ground along the crest of the dramatic Shawangunk escarpment.
