Donald J. Trump State Park

The 436-acre park spans two separate sections called Indian Hill and French Hill, containing continuous forest, meadows, and substantial wetland areas.

Donald Trump purchased the land in 1998 for 2.75 million dollars to build a golf course, but donated it to New York State in 2006 after facing environmental restrictions.

The property remains largely undeveloped since 2010 when maintenance stopped, leading to multiple public initiatives requesting a name change for the park.

Visitors can access the park through an asphalt driveway off the Taconic State Parkway, though the space offers no facilities or maintained walking paths.

The park donation generated controversy when Trump claimed a 100 million dollar tax write-off, despite purchasing the land for significantly less money eight years earlier.
