Hook Mountain State Park, Natural landmark and state park in Rockland County, United States.
Hook Mountain State Park extends across 676 acres of waterfront and cliff slopes, reaching heights of 730 feet above the Hudson River.
The Dutch settlers named this location Verdrietige Hook, referring to the extended time the mountain remained visible during Hudson River navigation.
The New York Audubon Society monitors over 12,000 hawks migrating past Hook Mountain each autumn, making it a key bird observation site.
Visitors access the park through Nyack Beach State Park entrance at 939 North Broadway Avenue, with operating hours from sunrise to sunset.
The park contains sections of the Palisades Sill geological formation, leading to its designation as a National Natural Landmark in 1980.
