}}Nyack Beach State Park is a {{convert|61|acre|km2|adj=on}} state park[1] in Upper Nyack, Rockland County, New York. It consists of a small parking lot and a riverfront pathway,[4] the southernmost section of the Hudson River Valley Greenway. It is known for its physical proximity to the Hudson River on one side of the pathway and the looming cliffs of the Palisades rising {{convert|700|ft|m}} above on the other side.[3]

The park is included within the Palisades Interstate Park system[6] and is functionally part of a continuous complex of parks that also includes Rockland Lake State Park, Hook Mountain State Park, and Haverstraw Beach State Park.[7]

History

The Palisades Interstate Park Commission purchased what was to become Nyack Beach State Park in 1911 to provide space for recreation, and to protect the land from the effects of quarrying that were impacting the Hudson River Palisades during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[4]

Along with a portion of adjacent Hook Mountain State Park, Nyack Beach was declared a National Natural Landmark in April 1980 for its portion of the Palisades Sill.[5]

Park description

The park offers picnicking, hiking, bicycling, fishing, and cross-country skiing along the pathway.[6] The path is flat and handicapped-accessible.[7] The pathway runs for {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}} along the river towards Rockland Lake State Park.

As the name implies, the park originally included a swimming beach which has been closed for many years due to pollution in the Hudson River. In 2005, it was suggested that the beach could be reopened for swimming due to the improved condition of the river.[8]

Wildlife

Hawks and raptors nest in the cliff and are easily viewed from the pathway.[9] In 1994 there was a harbor seal at the park, and in 1995 a harbor seal spent much of August in the vicinity of the park.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}} Fossils and dinosaur footprints have been found in the rocks along the pathway.[10]
