9. Bear Mountain State Park
Bear Mountain’s Bear Mountain State Park includes both some rocky peaks and verdant forest on the west bank of the Hudson River. The area is great for fishing and even swimming when it comes to Hessian Lake. Hike the historic revolutionary roads of the popular 5.7-mile Doodletown Bride Path Loop Trail. Visit Split Rock Falls, and the Doodletown Reservoir. Hike up to the Perkins Memorial Tower and take in the stunning views of the Hudson River Valley.
10. Hither Hills State Park
You’ll find this state park out in Montauk. Here in the very heart of New York’s Hamptons, you can enjoy affordable camping at the 190-site campground, golden sand beaches, and other recreation areas. Hikers can hit the narrower bay beaches. In fact, there are several trails for both hikers and horseback riders. If you tire of the forest, head for Napeague Harbor and its rolling dunes.
