Sojourner Truth State Park
PARK INFORMATION
Sojourner Truth State Park opened in February 2022 and is the first state park in the City of Kingston and the Town of Ulster. Named for 19th century African American abolitionist and suffragist Sojourner Truth, this new state park offers spectacular views of the Hudson River, historic industrial ruins and remnants from brick making and quarrying, and diverse habitat areas including woods, wetlands, and steep cliffs and ridge line.
The park includes the paved Hudson River Brickyard Trail, part of the Empire State Trail, connecting Kingston Point Beach with East Kingston.
Sojourner Truth State Park is managed by Scenic Hudson as part of a cooperating agreement.
