Haverstraw Bay Park — Attraction in Town of Haverstraw

The park provides stunning views of the expansive Hudson River. This location is by far a pleasant park to visit.

Come and appreciate the peaceful atmosphere that it offers daily. The views are truly a sight to behold, offering an escape from the city. It's a wonderful spot for both relaxation and taking in the beauty around.

The park provides a wonderful space for families to enjoy outdoor activities. Children can have a blast playing on the playground with all its features. Additionally, the boat launch deck is available, allowing visitors to appreciate scenic views by boat. It's a great place to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. The boat launch is usually open until sunset, so there's plenty of time to spend at the river. It's free of charge for unpowered craft and $10 for motorized ones.

These options provide essential services for the convenience of visitors. Ultimately, these amenities contribute to a more pleasant and comfortable experience, like a cold drink on a hot day.

Staff in the park however are friendly and helpful and work hard to...

BOAT RAMP REVIEW. I use the park strictly for the boat ramp (and bathrooms😉). The ramp angle is a touch on the steep side of average but works well with my 22ft Whaler. There is room for two boats to come in/out simultaneously. The docks are stable and the breakwater is highly effective creating calm waters for those critical moments moving on and off the trailer. My boat is float on/off....not drive, so we use a boat hook to ease the transit across the elevated walkway while remaining in control of the vessel. The ramp surface is textured for traction. I have retrieved near low tide and have not needed 4wd...yet. The trailer parking area is large and provides plenty of space to maneuver. My crew cab pickup and trailer fit the spot with 10ft to spare lengthwise Super boat launch, and only 38 miles to Lady Liberty. The park is well maintained and...
