Why You’ll Love Cheesequake State Park

This beautiful 1,274 acre state park is home to dense forest and sits right on the harbor with views of the Atlantic. It’s just outside of New York City, making it a great but convenient getaway. You’ll find great walking trails, which are even more picturesque in Autumn, as well as fishing, picnicking, boating, canoeing, swimming, and mountain biking.
