Trail Closure Updates: Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks
Body
Due to major storm damage on July 9, 2023, areas of Bear Mountain State Park and Harriman State Park remain closed. Please refer to the map below, our Trail Alerts page, and the NYS Parks website for the latest details on trail updates and any remaining impacts.
Even where trails are passable, the shaded area on the map below below is closed to the public and hiking is not permitted. Before traveling, visitors should be aware that many road/trailhead parking lot closures are in effect in the surrounding area. Hikers should exercise caution as backcountry trails have been impacted by erosion and downed trees.
As a reminder to all trail users, the detour for the Appalachian Trail shown on the map is for thru-hikers only. For additional information on the detour of the A.T. in Bear Mountain visit the corresponding Trail Alert.
