Welcome to the Palisades parklands—a collection of enchanting scenic and historic parks along the west side of the Hudson River. From beachesand boat basins to woodlands and mountaintops, Bear Mountain, Harriman,
Rockland Lake, Sterling Forest, Minnewaska Preserve, New Jersey’s Palisades Park, and other parks and recreation areas offer a variety of outdoor activities and adventuresto residents of the New York metropolitan area. Swimming, camping, hiking, biking,picnicking—the possibilities are endless.
Bear Mountain State Park
The scenic desecration alarmedseveral landowners, including J.P.Morgan and John D. Rockefeller,Sr. Under the inspired leadershipof George W. Perkins, Sr., the commission purchased the quarriesand other lands, and removed theindustrial buildings and residences.
The Commission, with the supportof the Harriman and Perkins families, was able to assemble BearMountain and Harriman parks andestablish group camps and outdoornature education programs forlocal and inner-city children.
Over the years the Commission ledgrassroots efforts to protect StormKing Mountain, Tallman Mountain,Sterling Forest, Minnewaska, andother sites from development.
Today, the Commission continuesto conserve open space and to protect natural and historicresources along the Palisades fortheir intrinsic value and enjoymentby the public.
