About Hudson Highlands State Park

Land protection stitched together a set of separate tracts rather than one solid block, stretching along the Hudson River's eastern bank across three counties from Peekskill down to Beacon. Because the park is non-contiguous, its holdings sit apart from one another within the eastern Hudson Highlands rather than forming a single connected preserve. This structure reflects how the surrounding terrain and prior land ownership shaped what could be assembled for protection.

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