Things to Do
New York’s state park system spans glacier-carved Finger Lakes gorges, wild Adirondack backcountry, Hudson Valley cliffs, Long Island beaches, and Niagara Falls. Activities include hiking dramatic gorge trails, swimming at supervised beaches, fishing world-class trout streams, camping in old-growth forests, cross-country skiing, rock climbing the Shawangunk Ridge, and kayaking the Thousand Islands.

Summer is peak for swimming and waterfalls. Fall brings world-class foliage peaking mid-to-late October. Spring delivers peak waterfall flow. Winter turns Adirondack parks into skiing paradises. Many gorge trails are closed November through May.
