New York State Lands
About
New York State Lands is a 60-acre state park in New York, managed by the state park agency and sitting about 1.4 miles from the town of Catskill. It's a small parcel of state parkland rather than a single marked route, so it works best as a stop combined with the trails and waterways around it. For comfortable outings, September is a good bet: typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 75°F and lows around 54°F, while May brings highs near 74°F. July is the warmest month, with typical highs around 85°F, and winter highs stay in the 30s. Several nearby spots make easy additions. The Hudson Valley Greenway Trail (Olana to Hudson) starts just 0.2 miles away and the Hudson River Skywalk is about half a mile off. Rock climbers can head to Cedar Park Cemetery, about 3.4 miles away, and paddlers can reach the Hudson River Greenway Water Trail, about 8.7 miles away.
