About York River State Park

The York River forms the northern edge of this park, with the land occupying the river's south bank roughly 10 miles downstream from West Point. The site sits near the unincorporated community of Croaker, on ground shaped by the tidal river's presence. Visitors weighing a trip can note the park's position along this working waterway as its defining geographic context.

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