Storm King State Park— Howell Trailhead,

Mountain Rd, Cornwall-On-Hudson, NY 12520, United States

"This is a beautiful park with amazing views of the Hudson River and Hudson Highlands across the river. The park is very popular and on weekends could be overcrowded. There are several access points: 1) from Mountains Rd (small parking 5-7 cars top) closer to Storm King Mt. 2) off highway 218 at Cornwall (Esty & Hellie Stowell trail-head, large parking) – closer to Storm King Mt. 3) further to the south along 218 there are two road-side parking area near the Stilman Spring trail (41.42627, -73.98341 and 41.42583, -73.98135) – this is the closest to the Hudson river and North Point summit: 4) two side road parking off 9W -41.42307, -74.00094 - 20-30 cars at least – here you can chose it is in between Storm King Mt and North Point 5) and smaller one at 41.41496, -73.99363 - this one is close to North Point Summit. There is also a trail coming from Storm King Mountain School on Mountain Rd, but I am not sure whether you can park there. There are multiple trails some of which are fairly challenging and some are narrow with a fairly steep drop down :). There are a few unmarked trail that lead to a various interesting rocky structures and cliffs but you need a map to understand where you go. At the time I was there there were no sources of water at/near Storm King Mt. summit. Dogs are allowed on a leash but some trails could be challenging."

"Very beautiful view up there, but the trail was very rocky. There are many different trails in the Storm King State Park and there are different parking lots for each trailhead. Suggest to do your homework before getting there because the trailheads and/or parking lots are not all clearly marked. Worth the hike and the view is absolutely beautiful."

"Beautiful views, and very well kept. Definitely a challenging hike, but one you can conquer. Stay hydrated, take plenty of pictures, and bask in the view atop."

"I absolutely loved this hike! Its gorgeous at the top and you can see so much from the summit. It's a fairly easy hike but I would *definitely* bring some sturdier shoes and expect to climb up a bunch of rocks. If you want to do a longer hike that is possible too but it's great for moderate hikers and those who have a bit more experience too."
