Harriman State Park Regional Rail Access

Image
  Map showing the location of Harriman State Park (merged for clarity with the smaller Bear Mountain State Park on its northeast side), and access routes from New York City (NYC) by regional rail. Major NYC-area rail transit hubs are abbreviated as follows: Grand Central Terminal (GC) , Penn Station New York (PEN) , Hoboken Terminal (HOB) , Secaucus Junction (SEC) , Harlem 125th St. Station (Harlem 125) . Service east of the Hudson River is on the Metro North Railroad's Hudson Line. Service West of the Hudson is on Metro North's Port Jervis Line. For details, see  https://www.mta.info/agency/metro-north-railroad . N.B. the two triangular symbols with Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks indicate approximately the two most interesting hiking areas of the park, in the author's opinion.
