About Goosepond Mountain State Park

Administered by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, this land was set aside undeveloped rather than built up with visitor facilities. It covers 1,706 acres in the Town of Chester, protecting the mountain and pond terrain the park takes its name from. No structures, trails, or amenities are described here, only the scale and status of the acreage itself, which anyone deciding to visit should weigh against expectations of a developed park.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
