Bear Mountain State Park
Bear Mountain offers sweeping Hudson River panoramas from Perkins Memorial Tower, reflective lakeside scenes at Hessian Lake, wooded Appalachian Trail stretches and dramatic fall foliage. Best at golden hour from the summit or sunrise for glassy lake reflections. Arrive early on weekends — parking fills fast (reviewed $10); trails range from easy lakeside loops to steep summit climbs. Dog-friendly, seasonal pool and ice rink; expect mixed accessibility (stairs at the tower).
