New York's State and National Parks

From the sandy shores of Long Island to mighty Niagara Falls, New York State is home to more than 200 State Parks and Historic Sites, where beautiful views and outdoor adventures await. Whether you climb the lighthouse for a bird's eye view at Rock Island Lighthouse State Park in the Thousand Islands, walk the trails and check out the waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park in the Finger Lakes, visit the "Grand Canyon of the East" at Letchworth State Park, take the ferry to Governors Island National Monument, hike the majestic Adirondack High Peaks, or just explore your local outdoor retreat, there's always something new to experience. Be sure to download the New York State Parks Explorer from the Google or Apple app stores to enhance your visit.
