Harriman State Park

Harriman State Park, located in Rockland and Orange counties, is the second-largest park in the parks system, with 31 lakes and reservoirs, 200 miles of hiking trails, two beaches, two public camping areas, a network of group camps, miles of streams and scenic roads, and scores of wildlife species, vistas and vantage points. Harriman State Park's major facilities include Lakes Welch, Sebago, Tiorati and Silvermine, the Anthony Wayne Recreation Area, Sebago Cabins and Beaver Pond Campgrounds.

Troop 71 has camped in several locations in Harriman State Park. Harriman is appropriate for all but very new Scouts, but note there is rocky hiking to the campsites, where there is no potable water (we carry it in) or restroom.  So, pack light and lace up your hiking boots!

NOTE: Only adults registered with the troop as committee members or assistant scoutmasters are permitted to camp with the troop.

When:  November 4, 2023 to November 5, 2023; leaving Saturday morning, returning before noon on Sunday.

Permission Slip: Hand in at troop meetings or bring it with you when you arrive at the Train Station. Note: all Scouts AND Parents going on the trip must submit a permission/waiver form. YPT is also required from all Parents going on the trip.
