Harriman Park, NY


Over the years, improvements have fostered recreation at Harriman: three sand beaches, a swimming pool complex, downhill and cross-country skiing facilities, picnic areas, campgrounds, and a network of children’s camps, to name a few. And yet, much of the park remains undeveloped and provides habitat for a rich variety of wildlife. Blessed with wooded hills and valleys, crystalline lakes and reservoirs – 31 of them! – scenic vistas and vantage points, Harriman is also a hikers’ paradise. It boasts over 200 miles of trails, including segments of the Appalachian Trail and the Long Path.
