Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park, also known as Fahnestock State Park, is a {{convert|14337|acre|km2|adj=on}} state park located in Putnam and Dutchess counties, New York.[2] The park has hiking trails, a beach on Canopus Lake, and fishing on four ponds and two lakes.[1] Most of the park is situated in northern Putnam County between the Taconic State Parkway and U.S. Route 9.

History

The original land, a donation of about {{convert|2400|acre|km2}}, was donated in 1929 by Dr. Ernest Fahnestock as a memorial to his brother Clarence, who died in the post-World War I influenza epidemic treating patients with the disease.

During the United States federal government shutdown of 2013, the park was the subject of a satirical "imagined monologue" published by McSweeney's Internet Tendency.[4]
