Confirmed from Tallman Mountain State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Activities such as hiking & cross-country skiing, plus views of the Hudson River & Piermont Marsh.

Beautiful!!!!!! My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday in May and had an amazing time. I love how there are options to barbecue here. It got a little crowded at around 12 but that was to be expected. The park is clean and big so you could social distance safely.
We park in the lot off of route 9w next to The 9W Market. That parking lot is free. This is one of our favorite places to come for all seasons. There is the paved trail that is convenient to walk on. But the real fun and beautiful part of the park is the long path trail.
Full service State Park along the Hudson. Has picnic areas with grills, playgrounds, hiking trails, well maintained bathrooms etc even a nice (privatized pool). Things of note: Parking charge of $8 in season, bring bug spray in the summer as it boggy along some trails so particularly after a stretch of rain it gets…
