We visited NYACK Beach State Park to hike the Hook Mountain and NYACK Beach Loop Trail, and it was absolutely amazing!

We did the loop clockwise, and the first part had some moderate uphill sections. The second half was much more relaxed, with a beautiful stroll along the Hudson River. The scenery was incredible throughout, and the combination of the mountain and river views made this hike especially enjoyable.

We went on a weekday and didn’t have to pay for parking, which was a nice bonus. Such a beautiful place and a great hike. Highly recommend!

As far as I could tell, this park consists of a linear path at the beach level of the Hudson River. The views of the river, the boats, and the Mario Cuomo Bridge on a nice summer day are beautiful. There are several benches and some picnic tables along the path. I also noticed a couple of grills near the parking lot. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon there were lots of walkers, runners and bikers of all ages.

Beautiful Mother's Day morning walk along the Hudson Get there before it gets too busy. There is limited parking. But seems to move. I got there before the rush. Hike to Plateau medium level. Didn't go to Hook mountain, knees were complaining.

Absolutely fantastic Hudson River walk. Level, great river and Mountain views.

Just a beautiful place to visit. We did a hike starting there and going up and over Hook Mountain. Sitting on the beach is relaxing. A great thing is that they have large bathrooms.
