Peebles Island State Park, State park and historic district in Waterford, United States.

Peebles Island State Park spans across a land mass at the meeting point of Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, featuring trails through woodland and rocky areas.

The island served as a strategic military position during the War of 1812, with defensive structures placed to protect the northern water routes into Albany.

The State Historic Preservation Office maintains its headquarters on the island, coordinating preservation efforts for 35 historic sites across New York State.

The park opens daily from sunrise to sunset, offering a pavilion for events that accommodates 100 people and requires advance reservation through ReserveAmerica.

The intersection of two major rivers creates strong rapids visible from numerous vantage points along the island's perimeter walking trails.
