Rockland County's Most Scenic Trails for Hot Weather Hikes
Summer is here, and it's one of the best seasons to enjoy a hike in the Hudson Valley region. Some of the best and (mostly) easy day hikes near New York City can be found right here in Rockland County, and our real estate agents are here to share some of our favorite trails near Rockland County homes for sale.
- Mountainview Nature Park - 180 Mountainview Ave., Nyack, NY 10960
The rolling, wooded hills of Mountainview Nature Park offer some of the most peaceful hiking trails in Rockland County. A stone's throw from some beautiful Nyack homes for sale, a highlight of the park is the Mountainview Park Loop, which meanders through 3.1 miles of shady woods before returning to the trailhead just off Strawberry Hill Lane. The trail includes some modest hills, but nothing too strenuous, making it great for hikers of all fitness levels. - Pine Meadow Lake Loop - Pine Meadow Road, Pomona, NY 10970
Many of the best hiking trails in Rockland County are located within Harriman State Park, New York's second-largest state park, which features over 200 miles of trails. The 5.6-mile Pine Meadow Lake Loop is a perennial favorite in the park, offering breathtaking scenery, including tree-covered mountains and a lovely mountain lake. Convenient to many Pomona homes for sale, it's considered a moderately challenging route, typically taking about three hours to complete. - Kennedy Dells County Park Loop - 19 Zukor Road, New City, NY 10956
With picturesque woodland scenery and minimal elevation gain, the 2.5-mile Kennedy Dells County Park Loop offers great bang for your buck when it comes to effort and reward. Most hikers complete the trek in under an hour, and the historic park offers not just serene forest, but also remnants of a 19th-century pumping station, stone dam, and arch bridge. Leashed pets are welcome on this charming trail, which is just a few minutes from these New City homes for sale. - Bear Mountain Loop - 3006 Seven Lakes Drive, Tomkins Cove, NY 10986
Spanning over 5,200 acres, Bear Mountain State Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Rockland County. It offers a wide range of hiking trails, from leisurely strolls to thigh-burning climbs. The 3.7-mile Bear Mountain Loop is ideal if you want a short hike that can be completed in an afternoon, yet still offers some beautiful views and requires you to break a sweat. This moderately difficult loop includes the summit of Bear Mountain, offering panoramic views of the Hudson Valley. Bear Mountain State Park is just minutes from these Tomkins Cove homes for sale. - Buttermilk Falls Blue Trail - 199 S. Greenbush Road, Orangeburg, NY 10962
Families with kids or dogs will love the Buttermilk Falls Blue Trail, an easy 1-mile loop offering easy terrain and waterfall views near these Orangeburg homes for sale.

The 3-mile Rockland Lake Loop is a beautiful trail that encircles the lake of the same name in Hook Mountain State Park. It's an easy trail with picturesque scenery that also offers great bird-watching opportunities.
