Haverstraw Beach State Park
About
Haverstraw Beach State Park is a 23-acre state park in the town of Haverstraw, New York, managed by the state park agency. It's a small unit with a single trail inside its boundaries, and it works well as a short stop or as a starting point for longer outings on nearby paths. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 70°F in May and about 74°F in September, with July warming to the low 80s. Several trails begin within a quarter mile of the park, including the Haverstraw River Trail and Long Path - Section 4, which is part of the longer Long Path. A little farther afield, the Rockland Lake Jogging and Bike Path is about 3 miles away, and the Croton River offers canoeing roughly 4 miles off.
