Storm King State Park

Storm King State Park spans 1,972 acres of land along the Hudson River, featuring dense forests, mountain trails, and panoramic river views.

Ernest Stillman donated the initial 800 acres to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission in 1922 to protect the land surrounding Storm King Highway.

The land holds connections to Native American tribes who inhabited the Hudson Valley region before European settlement, shaping local traditions.

The park remains open throughout the year with free admission, providing marked trails for hiking and designated areas for seasonal deer hunting.

Following a forest fire in 1999, the park closed for three years while teams removed unexploded ordnance from century-old artillery activities.
