Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Cherry Plain State Park adventure.
Hike the 6.3-mile Cherry Plain State Park Loop trail in snow or sun, and bring your leashed buddy.
This intimate and secluded 175-acre state park features a sandy beach on Black River Pond. Hiking, biking and nature trails make it a peaceful alternative to other regional parks. Bridle paths provide enthusiastic equestrians with a quiet, wooded haven just 3 hours from Manhattan. The fishing is great here, with anglers landing bass, bullheads, and pickerel. Rent a boat, and drop your line.
In the winter, recreational adventures include ice fishing and cross-country skiing. The Capital District Wildlife Management Area surrounds the park. This gives visitors easy access to another 4,153 acres of forested land for restorative outdoor pursuits.
Located in Cherry Plain near the Massachusetts border, the park offers 10 lakeside tent sites, 10 trailer sites, and 10 "hike-in" tent sites for camping. A bathhouse and comfort station let campers tend to their needs, but it's also a great place to hang for the day.
