Blue Mountain Park

Place is serene, I expected it to be packed on a Saturday afternoon, to my surprise it was quite empty. Bring long pants and long sleeves, mosquitoes are on the annoying side. There's plenty of picnic areas and tables spread across the park area and around the playground. I did the yellow/orange trail with wife and kid, it was okay, but a little too solitary and too quiet, which was kinda my fault, as it was past 5:30pm. Aside from that, I see myself coming here regularly, perfect for some quiet time, be it alone or accompanied, for reading a book, drawing, or meditating.

Had a great day here in Peekskill. This place has so many awesome clearly marked trails. I was charged 10 dollars for parking for not having county park pass. If you have a Westchester County Pass you are charged 5 bucks.

Great range to train and shoot. Plenty of ranges for various calibers, pistols and rifles. Range instructors and staff are awesome. Plenty of parking and reasonable range fees.

beautiful park! loads of great trails and vistas

This is a great place to hike, especially during the week, when you have the place almost all to yourself. Works best to have hiking shoes (lots of rocks). Climbs are not too steep, at least from the trails I've seen. The Dickey Brook trail has a nice waterfall.

Beautiful park that offers a great day for families. There are playing fields; hiking trails; picnic areas; beautiful lakes with ducks and geese. If you're into photography there are excellent nature shots. Parking is available in various places, and it's not a big walk from Metro North Station. Town of Peekskill by the Metro North Station has some very nice restaurants, and the park on the Hudson is very nice.

Very scenic and secluded park. I didn't find more than half a dozen people in this huge park. Very good for vloggers who would want to have a quiet time away from the city to shoot.

This park serves everyone. It has tables, benches, barbecue, playground for children etc. We spent a couple of hours and it was blissful.

Great spot for a hike or mountain bike ride. Good variable of trails though I wish that the trails had better markings and way finding. If you haven't visited before grab a map before you head out. There are something like 20 miles of trails but you can string together any length of a hike. Trails aren't to strenuous but the footing is often uneven.

This park never disappoints you. Hiking on a nice winter afternoon gives you the energy to carry on and recharge your mind!

Really great park for hiking! I took the blue mountain peak trail, found it moderate difficulty which was fabulous. 1 hour to the top. 2.5 hours total if you take a large loop back.

Overall really beautiful park, lots of great trails, very clean.

Some good trails for hiking, walking or biking. Difficulty 3/10 to the summit.

Blazes & Trail clearing could use more work, especially with the number of branching trails on top of each other

Basic outdoor range. Was very nice
What brought it to the next level was the range officers. They were helpful and a pleasure to talk to

Amazing place and free to use bbq grills + tables. Lake is also Amazing. Give it a try ,is worth it.

Nice park, trails are a bit confusing but okay for a stroll

Lots of different trails to choose from. One of the trails along the outside is really long and some of the trail markers aren’t as visible so you might get lost. But the trail should seem a little obvious which way to go

Beautiful in fall. Swings for kids. Very safe. Lot of picnic areas. Benches and grills. Abundant parking. Not many people. Social distancing. Worth spending a day with kiddos. Lake view.

For a secluded retreat, consider an early morning hike. Trials offer an engaging hike away from the crowds of nearby alternatives... Seems to be a favorite among the locals... Bring big spray, mosquitoes can be treacherous

Plenty of peace and quiet in the trails here for hiking, trail running and biking. Trails well marked. Well kept porta potty at the main parking lot.

Great park. Beautiful. Trails, hiking, and activities are everywhere. The statue is of Walt Whitman, in which you are met at the beginning of the Bear Mountain Zoo. One of the paths you can take is a breath taking view looking down the Hudson River Valley underneath the Bear Mountain Bridge.

Rode with a couple of friends for my first time at the park. Can zoom around and enjoy the beautiful scenery on well maintained trails. Will be back again to do a little climbing and taking in beautiful sites and sounds of nature.
