PaLisades ReGion
Palisades Region
On a clear day, you can see the New York City skyline from the
highlands region just up the Hudson River. Whether it’s the endless vistas, the thrill
of rock climbing, or taking a step back in time at the many military battlefields and
historic sites, the Palisades Region offers so much to do and see.
HARRIMAN STATE PARK
Harriman State Park, located in
Rockland and Orange counties, is
the second-largest state park in the
system and boasts the Appalachian
Trail running the length of it. Among
its 46,000 acres, the park includes two
camping areas and a network of group
camps. There are over 200 miles of
hiking trails and 31 lakes and reservoirs
with three beaches for you to cool down
in after you have hiked the trails. The
park offers miles of streams and scenic
roads, and scores of wildlife species,
views and vantage points. Harriman
State Park’s major facilities include
Lakes Welch, Sebago, Tiorati and Silvermine, the Anthony Wayne Recreation Area,
Sebago Cabins and Beaver Pond Campgrounds. For an enjoyable hike, be sure to
check out the Pine Meadow Lake Loop which starts at the Reeves Meadow visitors’
center and works its way through forest and meadows and alongside trickling waters
