Harriman State Park Loop

The 8.6-mile, moderately frequented Harriman State Park Loop path, which has a lake and is situated close to Tuxedo Park, New York, is located there. From April through November is the optimum time to use the path, which is generally used for hiking and walking. This is a long path, but you'll pass by a few pretty brooks and climb and descend a lot of steep to moderate hills with beautiful scenery. Although they must be on a leash, dogs are allowed to utilize this trail.

This route winds past numerous lakes in and near Harriman State Park, displaying a verdant beauty. The parkway circles these lakes, offering stunning views of the surrounding area, animals, and more. Take a pause and see some of Arden's historic structures, such as the location of the ironworks that produced the renowned Parrott Gun during the Civil War in 1810. Shebago Beach on Lake Welch is a great location with lots of picnic tables for a lunchtime spread if you want to enjoy a swim in the water to cool off or check to see if the fish are biting. This is considered as one of the Best Scenic Drives in New York.
