Harriman State Park

PARK INFORMATION

Following a severe rain event on July 9th, 2023 many trails in the northern portion of Harriman State Park are closed, however many facilities in Harriman and Bear Mountain have since reopened.

A trail map is available here and you can find the most up to date information about park closures here.

If Bear Mountain is the flagship of the Palisades Interstate Park system, Harriman is its heart and at more than 47,500 acres, is our largest park. The park bears the name of the Harriman family – Edward Henry, the railroad baron, his wife Mary, and their sons Averell, PIPC Commissioner and New York Governor and Roland, PIPC Commissioner – whose fortune contributed mightily to the early achievements of the PIPC.

Much of the park also 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.
