Tallman Mountain State Park

Nice quiet place with great views. Great to walk around - usually not very crowded

One star because of the company that manages the pool in this park. NOCO. They increase the price during the weekends. They don't allow your food inside. Even if you have children. If you go out to eat, maybe by your car, they don't allow you to re-enter. Obviously they want to "bully" you into buying their overpriced food. The water in the pool was also very unpleasantly cold.

Fair view but unfortunately there's a huge amount of overgrowth of large shrubs& trees blocking the majority of the view of the beautiful majestic Hudson River, need to be trimmed and zome trees cleared. Sadly the entire Hudson River veiw is now completely blocked. A small portion of the West side of the Hudson at Tappanzee Bridge is visable. Very disappointing it wasn't this way 25 years ago from Atop Tallman Mountain. The tree covered picnic area has many tables for picnics for small or large groups and outdoor fires. $6 entrance fee. Restrooms available. And walking trails. In the lower section at the bottom of the mountain is a public pool and entertainment area. Many public and private events, call for info. Below are pictures from Atop The Mountain. As you can see in one of the photos, the is very minimal view of river, the rest of the park is completely tree covered at Mountain's Edge quite a bit disappointing due to tree over growth blocking the vista. It was fabulous many years ago you had a phenomenal view here with only a few trees. Going to Piermont is the better bet if you want a view of the bridge and river at water's edge for a gorgeous view of the enchanting historic Hudson Valley and River. You can walk to the end of the pier there or drive back to the road that leads to the long island that juts out. Its a better opportunity if you want great river views close to the water. There are restrooms available.

I really like this place. It is quiet, good paths, wild raspberries and mushrooms are abundant in season. Oh and we see deer every time we go there in the evening.
