Mohawk River State Park, Nature preserve in Niskayuna, United States.

The 105-acre park stretches along the Mohawk River, featuring natural landscapes, wooded areas, and walking trails through undeveloped terrain.

New York State purchased the land from the Schenectady Museum in 2006 for $1 million, establishing the first state park in Schenectady County.

Local volunteer groups maintain the John F. Brown Trail System within the park, fostering community involvement in outdoor recreation and conservation.

Visitors can access the park through a parking area at Whitmyer Drive, with connections to the Mohawk Hudson Bike/Hike Trail along the northern boundary.

In 2024, the Town of Niskayuna acquired the entire park from New York State for just one dollar, with an agreement to preserve its natural state.
