Blauvelt State Park (BSP) is a passive state park area with trail hiking being the main activity. Any plans in BSP should be paired with Tackamack North/South and Nike Overlook Town Parks and Buttermilk Falls and Clausland Mtn County Parks. The Long Path runs through the park as well as multiple lesser trails. Some of the trails are more difficult than others and the Long Path. A major landmark is the Bluefields Camp, a former pre-WWI New York National Guard training grounds equipped with tunnels. Views are accessible depending on the time of year and can show either the Hudson River, The Nyacks, Sparkill and south into Bergen County, or west across Orangetown towards Lake Tappan and beyond. Access to the park is year-round (but it like all state parks is “closed” at night) with multiple access points off County Routes 5, 11, 28, and 38. Depending on the month some road side parking may be obstructed by plants but there are parking areas in some of the town and county parks.
