Wawayanda State Park

Wawayanda State Park

The quiet charm of Wawayanda appeals to mountain bikers, hikers, campers, swimmers and boaters. Forested hills surround Lake Wawayanda creating a restful backdrop for canoeists, boaters and fisherman, while steep mountains challenge casual as well as serious hikers. A twenty-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail runs through the park, while the top of Wawayanda Mountain offers sensational views. More than forty miles of trails are marked in the park.

Maintenance is carried out by volunteers. Help us keep the trails in their best condition!

If this is your backyard or favorite place to ride, allocate your membership/donation funds to this Chapter.
