Minnewaska State Park Preserve

Lakes and Ledges on the Shawangunk Ridge

Discover

Minnewaska State Park Preserve brings lakes, hardwood forest, waterfalls, and exposed rock together on the Shawangunk Ridge. The contrast between water and stone gives the landscape its character. Choose a route around a specific part of the preserve, leaving room to notice the forest between the larger views.

Before you go

Check the official map, entrance, and current trail conditions; swimming has separate restrictions.

Social

Rock ledges, forest, and lakes share the landscape at Minnewaska. A thoughtful route lets you see how each element changes the next, without trying to cover the entire preserve.

Which landscape pairing draws you in: lake and forest, or cliff and valley?
