Tallman Mountain State Park

Tallman Mountain State Park comprises wooded country on the easterly slope of the Palisades uplands overlooking the Hudson and Piermont Marsh, which lies between the river and the slope. The marsh is part of the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve. Along the Long Path to the north is the Village of Piermont with many interesting crafts shops, art galleries and restaurants. The village owned pier and its extensive development make an interesting diversion, with views up and down the river Bordering the park to its south, the old-time charm of the hamlet of Palisades makes it seem hardly credible that it should still exist so close to New York City. Old Dutch houses with greenswards and gardens, and former artists' cottages, are scattered up and down the park-like hillsides.

The park operates as a day use area, offering a swimming pool, running track, tennis courts, playfield, cross country skiing and picnic areas in addition to hiking. There is handicapped access to the pool and picnic tables. Fees may apply.
