About

Peebles Island State Park occupies 190 acres at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers in Saratoga County. The park offers spectacular views of river rapids and provides miles of paths through gently rolling, wooded landscape ideal for walking, jogging, and wildlife observation. The year-round trails attract hikers in warmer months and cross-country skiers and snowshoers in winter. The park serves as a popular day-use destination for picnicking and fishing, with picnic tables, grills, and one pavilion available for rental. The island's location makes it an excellent spot for viewing migratory birds, with over 170 species recorded. Peebles Island is also home to the Bureau of Historic Sites and Bureau of Historic Preservation Field Services, providing technical services for New York's 35 state-operated historic sites. This is a day-use only park with no overnight camping facilities. Bicycles are not permitted on trails. The park is open year-round from sunrise to sunset, with extended hours during striped bass season.
