John Boyd Thacher State Park

Welcome to the wonderful John Boyd Thacher State Park, located in New York's Appalachian region in one of the world's richest fossil bearing formations. The park is named for a former state senator and mayor of Albany who once owned this land.

Trails: Come out and explore over 25 miles of multipurpose trails for all seasons. Come out and see the magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. One once described this park as "Cliffs Higher than the Palisades."
