Bear Mountain State Park Active and Adventure Highlights

By Travel Expert: Karen Berger
  • Manhattan residents can escape the city and be in the park's rugged mountains on the Hudson River in about an hour.
  • The Appalachian Trail climbs stiffly to the summit of Bear Mountain. Check out the view of the Hudson River from Perkins Tower, and enjoy berries in mid-summer.
  • The historic Bear Mountain Inn overlooks Hessian Lake and provides fine food and overnight accommodations.
