Storm King State Park is a 1,972-acre (7.98 km²) state park in Orange County, New York.^[2] The park is in the southeast part of the Town of Cornwall, next to the Hudson River. A central feature of the park is Storm King Mountain.

History

New York physician Ernest Stillman donated the park's initial 800 acres (3.2 km²) to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission in 1922, hoping to protect land surrounding the Storm King Highway. The park has since grown to its current 1,972-acre (7.98 km²) size through additional donations and purchases of land.^[3]

The park was the focus of preservation efforts in the early 1960s after a proposal by Consolidated Edison to build a hydro-electric power plant on the property. The Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference was formed by citizens opposed to the project, and the proposal was eventually dropped following a 17-year battle to preserve the park's natural state.^[5]^[6]

A 1999 forest fire at the park caused the detonation of unexploded ordnance that had been fired over 100 years prior by a cannon manufacturer across the river. Additional unexploded shells were also discovered that likely originated from a nearby West Point artillery range. After the fire was put out, the park remained closed to hikers for three years as remaining explosives were located and removed.^[5]^[6]

Description

Storm King State Park is undeveloped except for limited parking and trails. The park offers hiking and seasonal deer hunting.^[1] Several named trails are included within the park, which features Storm King Mountain as a central feature.^[5]

The park's forests are part of the Northeastern coastal forests ecoregion.^[7]
