Huge, beautiful and American. To bad its not maintained or that all the city folks come up and pollute or congest the area with non English speaking unfriendly people.

Harriman state park is such a beautiful park and I truly enjoy my morning drives into work. What I don’t enjoy is how frequently tractor trailers and commercial vehicles now use the park. I know they are not permitted to drive in the park however, nothing is being done about it. Today, I finally called the park rangers to advise and of course nothing was done. My information wasn’t even asked. All I got was a “okay, okay, okay”. It’s absolutely a risk to have these vehicles on such narrow, bumpy and potholed roads. They cross over the double yellow lines or in this case this morning; this Verizon unity bucket truck was speeding while driving reckless. Please be careful out there driving you may take a turn and find an 18 wheeler in your lane.

When in Harriman state park, Kanawauke Lake, just off Seven lakes drive. They have BBQ pits, but we usually bring our own for health safety reasons. You're surrounded by lakes.

Some hotels and motels allow pets, and some don't. When making your reservation, just ask if they are pet friendly. If not, ask if they can recommend an accommodation near the park that is pet friendly 😊

are there water fountains in the park anywhere?

Katie Greibesland | Sep 10, 2018
Ken Razzo | Sep 10, 2018

I know that there are water fountains near the bathrooms at Tiorati circle. But, they are seasonal. I believe that there are water fountains at Lake Welch but, if I remember correctly, they were inside the facility near the restrooms (not 24 hour access spoke the ones at Tiorati Circle). I will mention that the sinks at the bathrooms at Tiorati circle have signs that say that the water is not potable! So, don't think that you can just get water at a bathroom sink.

Can you camp here

Wishful xRated | Sep 9, 2020
Henry Zaradich | Sep 9, 2020

You can camp out of your car at the Beaver Pond campground. You have to make a reservation to do this. You can also do backcountry camping if you want to hike in to one of several shelters around the park - you're allowed to just show up, set up and camp within 100 yards from the shelters. My favorites are the Tom Jones shelter and the Stockbridge shelter.

Can we camp off the grid? Meaning, not a designated area! We plan to hike and find a cozy flat area somewhere. Is that allowed at harriman? We plan to abide by all rules. 150 ft from water and trails etc.

That's what I did 2 weekends ago. I'm not giving away my spot but I just drove til I liked an area and hiked in. I kept going til I passed the major trailhead where all the novice hikers would turn around and I didn't see another human being til I hiked out, it was great. I camped almost 5 miles into the mountain from where I parked which was definitely overkill but the spot was totally worth it. Just grab a trail map and go

Is Harriman State Park considered to be part of the Catskill Mountains?

Benjamin Wright | Sep 10, 2018
Deborah Adams (Ryu) | Sep 10, 2018

No it is not. It runs north of the New Jersey border, alongside the Hudson into Orange County. It is southeast of the Catskills. If you go to Campmor or REI there is a wonderful Trail guide for Harriman State Park. I have been hiking and canoeing there for 30 years it is an amazing place! I encourage anyone who loves the outdoors to go there all year round!
