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.
