Use the map as a guide
The official trail map shows approximate boundaries and trails and warns that trail conditions can change. Its distances describe trails within Blauvelt State Park, not necessarily a complete loop from your parking place. Include the approach and return when planning a route.
Report an accident or incident to Park Police at 845-786-2781. For an emergency, call 911.
Share the trails considerately
Be considerate of other park users, as the map requests. Allow time to return before dusk.
Maps, location, and trail access
The official park page gives the location as Route 303 North to East Greenbush Road, Blauvelt, NY 10913. It identifies Tackamac Park as an entrance, with access to Blauvelt via the Long Path. Treat the road location as the approach to a hiking visit, not a drive through the park.
Nearby parks
- Clausland Mountain Park has road access from Tweed Boulevard via Nike Lane. The county lists parking on Nike Lane and at Tackamack Park on Clausland Mountain Road.
- Tallman Mountain State Park is on Route 9W in Sparkill. This nearby road-access option opens for day use from dawn to dusk all year.
Plan a walk along the Long Path
The map lists 2.5 miles of the Long Path within the park, a 0.6-mile Red Trail, and a 0.4-mile White Trail. Choose a route that fits the daylight available and your return to the entrance. The listed lengths do not establish a single combined circuit.
Hiking and Hudson Valley views are the park's verified visitor attractions. The undeveloped setting makes route planning more useful than expecting a sequence of serviced stops.
An undeveloped park
There are no toilets, and parking is limited. Complete any restroom stop before starting the walk. Ask the park office about the approach that best fits your mobility needs before committing to a route.
