About Whetstone Gulf State Park

A gulf carved into the Tug Hill Plateau forms the ground this 515-acre park sits on, straddling the line between the towns of Turin and Martinsburg. Its eastern edge lies near New York State Route 26. The acreage covers the gorge itself along with the surrounding plateau land.

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