Harriman | Bear Mountain State Parks
Just 40 minutes from New York City you will find over 230 miles of trails looping across a rugged landscape, not including the many unmarked trails you will come across. Trails will vary from challenging single track, to woods roads and paths that allow you to step back in time, traveling the many Historical Trails that are within the parks. Covering nearly 52,000 acres, this network of practically infinite trail combinations is unmatched in the area surrounding metropolitan New York.
The adventurer may choose to climb through the crevices of the Lemon Squeezer, savor the views of the Hudson from high on Dunderberg Mountain, challenge themselves to the FKT on the 23 mile Suffern Bear Mountain Trail or explore some of the Historic Appalachian Trail. The Bear Mountain Inn area is itself a destination for many families to enjoy its numerous attractions, including access to several great hiking trails, a few taking you to the top of Bear Mountain.

Had a little fun the other day taken the Spot Rallye for its first ride as I made adjustments and worked on dialing in the fit. Roads were a bit snow covered in Harriman State Park...
It’s our favorite time of year when it begins to feel like winter...and it felt like that today in Harriman State Park, NY! Winter begins next Thursday, December 21st and ends March 19th, 2018. This is a great time of year to head out for a hike!

Thank you to Ali Bauman of CBS News and the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference for helping to bring attention and awareness to the littering problem in our local parks. This is not just about our parks but about all parks and communities that have been experiencing a similar situation. We contributed some videos and pictures to the feature that was aired live Tuesday at 5pm.
Harriman State Park needs volunteers to break some trails! Today we received about a foot+ of snow. We were hoping for more but this will do. Here is a little footage of our time out in Southern HSP. Be sure to watch the entire footage for an exclusive weather update from the one and only Elizabeth Azze!
