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.

Wow, what a gorgeous day for a hike! The weather was a little warmer than normal, peaking in the high 70's in the afternoon.
Harriman State Park is huge and it would take weeks to explore it all, so I chose an eastern part of the park that looked promising on the maps and would take me past three bodies of water.
Every time I hike in Harriman State Park, I appreciate it more! There's so much to see and do here that I can't wait until the season opens next year so I can take advantage of some of the camping and swimming options.
