OMG I love this park !! I wanted to go hiking with my dogs and I found this park. The parking lot is great, huge. The park is divided into hiking trails, bbq place, games and pool. You can come here and go hiking with your dogs, then paths are clear, is extremely clean, you won't find anything trash anywhere. My dogs had a lot of fun in the park, you can go inside the trails of the forest, or you can stay on the asphalt trail. We did both and they were amazing. We decided to go and explored the BBQ area, the view is spectacular, you will feel an interior peace. In the bbq area you can find benches you can sit and meditate or see the lake view. We were surprised that even in the BBQ Area they were no trash, everyone here takes all the trash with them. They have different spots that people can do BBQ but only one has a big cabin, I don't know if you need to reserve the big one, but my guess is that yes LOL. If you come here, remember you need to take all your trash!!! and have fun !!!!

This park is a carry out your own garbage park - great idea ! The park itself has some BBQ grills and picnic tables. Bring your own supplies to clean grills up . There are bathrooms throughout picnic area but the only one open during official off season is located at play area near entrance . There is a bike/walk path , nicely paved . I think this park is the perfect hideaway for a day at the park .

If you ever wanna take super hipster autumn engagement photos this is the place. There is such much beauty packed into a small place here. Usually you have to go on a super long hike where you could die alone miles away from the trailhead...BUT NOT HERE. And that is worth five stars all on its own. You make your way to the top and it's beautiful looking down. It's also beautiful just getting to the top. I went on Veterans day and no one was there. I am not sure how it is on the weekend but when I go for hikes on weekends anywhere I am the first one there and the first one to depart. I will definitely be back...probably to take engagement photos one day.

Fun atmosphere, nice pool. Slightly over priced food and drinks, with a limited menu. With that said, the food was tasty, and worth it for the atmosphere. $15 a person for the day at the pool on weekdays, $20 on weekends kids 5 and under are free. Beers are $8 and aren't super cold, lines tasted a bit dirty. But perfectly acceptable for a glorified snack bar at a tropical themed family pool. Good views, some sort of sand fleas kept biting us at the tables. No drozen drinks. Friendly staff, a solid 3.5 experience, worth checking out.
Grade A+ mountainous crag path. On nice sunny days one can glimpse majestic views of the Noble Hudson River. On rainy days, one can still view rainy wet majestic views of the only river that counts on the East Coast: The Hudson River. Note: the Hudson is named for brave nationalist English explorer Henry Hudson who first came up the tides of these waters around 1609ish in his sloop the 'Halve Maen', (the Half Moon). Henry Hudson was operating in total unknown. A male pioneer of exploration who laid his life on the scales of life and death. A pre-modern man of business and culture, who gave it all up to sail to the New World: a place rife with hostile animals, blood-thirsty natives, cannibalism, cut-throat war, disease, virus, dysentery and malaria. Henry Hudson must be admired. He was a GIANT of humanism, learning and NAVIGATION! Henry Hudson should have a National Holiday! The paths are moderate in incline - but it all depends on which of a handful of branch trails one takes. In inclement weather, it is dangerous, slippery, with loose rocks, slate, tree trunks, small waterfalls in the trails and volatile drops. Loose stone. Loose waterfalls. Trails are marked visibly with green blazes. Rebel review: 5

State Parks are seemingly one of the less attended things to do when we're thinking -- propped up on our couches on an early Saturday morning within just about every season save Winter, but don't let that deter you. A little cold never killed anyone, but as your driving up Tallman Mountain and the trail narrows and tilts a bit, it's best we keep winter out of the trips that have cliffs and dropoffs. However, it is for certain that I've been taking those Saturday morning thoughts and putting them into getting the rubber turning on the road. It may sound silly, but I pack food poorly - a foodie like myself -- I should be preparing delicious meals, gosh, I've got multiple coolers (yes, a YETI is one). But for whatever reason I just bounce on out of the city like I'm shot out of a cannon, relying on last year's canned foods to bail me out. So we circled around reading the signs which had no bearing on our decision, just read everything and you'll remain on the right side of correctness. With capacity being under fifty percent, we were able to snag a little cut out of parking, close to picnic tables and restrooms with a little walk to the cliffs edge to look down upon the marsh land. Another group of people were having a birthday celebration, in the rain and some cared not be and others huddled closely together with ponchos and umbrellas. Good for those that accepted the rain and continued to enjoy the party. But for us, we walked the trails a good way, had a little picnic lunch -- day on the bench and breathed in the air and let out body and mind heal from the citys problems.

Loved by many in the Bergen County residents - Tallman Moubtain State Park. Whether you take the PIP or 9W, on your way to Piermont or Nyack, we advise the newcomers to take a detour to Tallman Park. There will be MANY bicyclists on weekends on 9W, and cars will be parked on the shoulders of 9W, all the way from Tallman Park entrance to The 9W Market. Especially at 9W Marker because there is a cozy "free" parking - for about 12 cars - near the market. We always take the "Red' path which is Bicycle Path, an easy, even, wide path for anyone. If you take the "Blue", it is narrow, and you will have to keep both eyes on the path due to pebbles and tree roots. Can be quite tiring. Any time of the season. You will not regret.

Reviewing the pool club. Went here for a band that was playing. The menu says a 20% service charge is applied to any table service however the bartenders for walk up also added the 20% without telling you. They seem to hide this unless asked then when charging your card they ask for tip. The female bartenders sucked the male bartender was honest. This is shameful as its likely the servers are not going to see their forced tip. I wouldnt go here again simply because of this management decision to be so deceptive.

There's multiple trails for amateur hikers or casual hikers. I would label the trails as easy with minor moderate paths. There's bicycling paved paths as well. My hike started in the parking lot after you enter the park by turning right from Rockland road (not from 9W parking lot). There's a dirt trail that starts at the main parking lot and from there switch off to the long trail. There's a pretty great view of the Hudson - I got here by randomly making a left turn from the main road/driveway. Overall I couldn't really tell where I was and just went with it mostly following the green trail. You can't really get lost if you follow the Hudson. Overall these trails could be better marked but outside of hiking there's plenty picnic areas - great for BBQ!
