Really beautiful trails. There's multiple trails that can be linked together to create a loop. Take the blue trail by the beginning of the parking loop up to the red trail which takes you to the white trail back down to the parking loop. Lots of wildlife like hawks, salamanders, and all kinds of little birds. There are lots of little streams and huge boulders. Very beautiful overlooks

EPIC NATURE WALKS 🚶🏻‍♂️ Really epic walks that is easy for the family. Really great hike that is organized next to the relaxing river. Beautiful nature scenery. Best to find a walking stick on the ground to brace for uneven terrain; it does wonders to help with knees plus having a stick always make hikes feel less monotonous. We will try to hike up the mountain next time instead of adding the river. I bet it’s beautiful at the peak! We also jogged a little and it made it more exciting too! Highly recommend for a great hike that burns calories ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Drove over around midday on a lovely October Sunday and the road was lined with parked cars for a mile... so I just kept driving a mile, came to a lake and followed that path. Not a big walk but the tea spot by the lake that's gorgeous.

Saturday drive from NYC was 1hr and 20 min. Easy park access and parking. Friendly hikers, friendly dogs and a beautiful trail. Harriman Park in general is fantastic

So many trails from difficult to easy....many mountains and lakes. There are amazing places to camp and fish and an easy place to get away from it all without traveling far. I highly recommend exploring Harriman State Park and have yet to see it all after 20 years of traveling here! Views range from the Hudson to Caves and old abandoned Iron Mines. See For Yourself!

A beginners hike that has a gradual incline and no major obstacles to get over. Wonderful nonetheless. Nice views and some good fresh air. Not a very busy hiking spot either, so if solitude is your goal, your on the right trail.

We hiked the Claudius Smith Den trail. Very good hike, not crowded. Parked at the Tuxedo train station. There is also a lot for about a dozen cars near East Village road, even closer to the trailhead. Counter clockwise is easier. Clockwise for a great workout! Make sure you stop by the Den!!

Nice fairly easy hike of just over an hour. My biggest disappointment was the vicinity of the major highways took away from my overall enjoyment of nature. I like to be enveloped by nature and I personally found the noise of the traffic took away from that experience. We brought our dog which is permitted on the trail and the views were nice and there is a nice overlook about 1/2 way through the trail of the valley below and the freeway.
