Blauvelt State Park

Blauvelt State Park is a protected forest area in the Hudson Valley region with extensive trails and multiple streams running through it. The land supports a variety of wildlife and offers many ways to explore the natural surroundings.

The land became a state park in 1964 after being privately owned by the Blauvelt family for generations. This transition protected it as a public natural area managed by New York's park system.

The park functions as a place where nature programs help visitors learn about local ecosystems and their importance to the region. These activities connect people with the natural world in a hands-on way.

Multiple parking areas and trail entrances are easily accessible from Western Highway, and facilities include restrooms and picnic areas. Visitors should wear good footwear since the paths vary in difficulty and terrain.

The grounds contain visible remnants of World War I military training, including old trenches used to prepare soldiers for battle. These historical traces remain visible within the otherwise natural landscape today.
