Cedar Island State Park
About
Cedar Island State Park is a 9-acre state park in New York, about 5 miles from the town of Hammond. The land is managed by the state park agency, and the park is small enough that a visit is easy to fold into a day exploring the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go, with typical July highs around 79°F and lows near 57°F. Those figures are averages from a weather station at Gouverneur, about 15 miles away. Winters there are harsh, with typical January highs in the mid-20s. Several other outdoor spots sit within easy reach. Wolf Traill, Hawk Loop and Deer Trail are hiking routes about 4 miles away, and the Fairyland Wall climbing area lies roughly 9 miles off.
