High Tor State Park 415 South Mountain Road, New City, NY 10956

"High Tor is perhaps the best view in Rockland - you can see Haverstraw, Haverstraw Bay, all of Rockland to NYC, and even up to the foothills of the Hudson Highlands from the summit."

"A nice small park with a great pool area for adults and a small one for young children. The park also has a modest picnic area."

"This os a great hike because you can do it in less than an hour . Its quick in and out. Parking is limited so best to get there early if exploring on a weekend. Go up central ave like your heading to New City from 202. We locals call it the mountain road. When you het to the peak of the mountain road you will see two parking areas on either side with south mountain park signs. This hike will be on your left. You start by following the teal blazes. At a mile in you will see an intersection with 3 white blazes. Take that left and follow the white blazes till you get to the top. There are two overlooks looking down at North Rockland area and the Hudson. So you will get to the top but then there is a narrow path that allows you yo look at the left side. After you are done taking pictures you come down the same way you came in following the white blazes to the bottom then take a right and follow the teal blazes back to your car."

"This is a terrific trail! It begins with a nice, gravel trail, then transitions to larger rocks mixed with gravel. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most difficult, I'd rate this a 3 or 4, but with one caveat - the High Tor scenic overlook spot is more like an 8 or 9. To complete the trail, you have to cross it, and the sweeping, panoramic view is totally worth it. The Little Tor overlook is nice and less grueling, but it's optional and not a necessary part of the hike. Except for the High Tor overlook, the trail is mostly covered with tree cover."

"Nice park with great views. My husband and I had a lovely time hiking around this state park."
