Harriman State Park – Breakneck Mountain, Lake Wanosink, Pine Meadow Lake

My third visit to the Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center was just as amazing as the others!

Hosted by the Appalachian Mountain Club, the center offers areas to setup tents; cabins of varying sizes; a dining hall; communal bathrooms and showers; canoeing; kayaking; swimming; and hiking.

A group of four of us went on a lovely afternoon hike through Harriman State Park, passing Breakneck Mountain and Tuxedo Rock. We stopped for views of Lake Wanosink and Pine Meadow Lake, then took a few carriage paths back to our cabin.

I tend not to take a lot of photos when I’m with other people as to not slow the group down, so this gallery is sparser than some of my solo hikes.

My first 3-day weekend trip to the Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center was amazing! Our 16-person cabin was clean and modern. The meals were delicious and plentiful. A handful of us went on a Saturday hike through an eastern area of the park, including stops at a couple lookout spots and a bear sighting. The rest of the weekend, we played games around the campfire and went swimming, canoeing, and kayaking in Breakneck Pond. It was truly an enjoyable weekend in nature.

I met up with group of six friends who rented a weekend cabin at the Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center. I was impressed with how modern and clean the cabin was, with two bedrooms, six beds, and electricity for lights, a microwave, and a refrigerator. We started the day with an almost 9-mile hike from Breakneck Pond to Pine Meadow Lake and back. Then we grabbed dinner in the dining hall before heading out to kayak and canoe across Breakneck Pond. We finished the night sitting around the campfire, chatting and playing games.

I came out of this hike completely soaked in sweat. This is the first time I really pushed through the heat for such a long distance. I was initially worried if I brought enough water, but I monitored my intake and sipped at a consistent pace throughout the day. I knew going in this would be more of a forest hike than a view hike and I was okay with that. Due to the intense sun, I didn't want to spend too much time on mountain tops and I was happy to stay in the shade as much as possible. Even without the views, it was an awesome hike! I enjoyed exploring a new section of Harriman.
