A vision one hundred years ago to connect people to New York State’s most celebrated lands has since transformed into the state park system we know and love today – encompassing 360,000 acres of beaches, campgrounds, trails, golf courses, and so much more.
While you may have your favorites, we treasure each and every one of our 250-plus properties.
From world-renowned Niagara Falls, boasting the wonders of nature, to the largest collection of Revolutionary War sites, spotlighting our state’s rich historic heritage.
For one hundred years, you’ve walked the trails, camped in the forests, organized summer cookouts, and swam in the lakes and pools. You’ve created memories and passed down traditions. You’ve helped forge the last one hundred years of recreation and stewardship – and will help ignite one hundred years ahead.
So, wherever you’re headed next ….
Taking my daughter camping for the first time at Delta Lake. She had just turned one and it was our first big trip like that with her. We went with friends and selected a park close to home in case we found ourselves in over our heads. We only stayed two nights, but it was wonderful.
