Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park

Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park is a 356-acre park along the eastern shore of the Hudson River with forests, walking trails, and water access through a marina. The grounds include tent sites, cabins, and boat slips along with facilities like showers and restrooms.

The land was donated to New York State in 1934 by Geraldine Morgan Thompson in memory of her sister Margaret Lewis Norrie. This gift created the park that exists today.

The environmental center here offers educational programs about local ecosystems and conservation efforts. Visitors can engage with nature studies and learn about the plants and animals that live along the Hudson River.

The park has trails throughout for different activity levels and lodging options ranging from camping to cabins. Visitors should come prepared for outdoor weather and be ready for hiking, boating, and nature watching.

The park encompasses Esopus Island and borders Mills Memorial State Park directly, creating one large connected protected area. This connection allows visitors to explore an extended natural landscape without leaving the park system.
