Taconic Hereford Multiple Use Park

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Free and walk-in only, Taconic Hereford Multiple Use Park sits within a forested 900-plus-acre protected area managed by the NYS DEC outside Verbank. The access road is narrow with limited turnaround space, making it unsuitable for trailers or RVs. Sites are few. AT&T cell coverage has been reported as functional, and campfires and pets are both permitted. Campers wanting developed facilities nearby can check out Sylvan Lake Beach Park to the south.

Convenient pit stop

This spot is easy to find and access, and had decent ATT service. There's only a few spots, and the road is narrow with not much turnaround room, I wouldn't recommend for trailers or RVs.

A hidden gem...

99% off people don't even know this area exists. If you want a quiet piece of beautiful forest to truly rough it and go camping for a few days, then this is what you have been looking for. Less then 10 min drive from town, but hiking in and finding a suitable place to make camp has the feeling of the wild, with the safety of having full cell service. There is plenty of trails to explore and wildlife to enjoy, especially since these over 900 acres also back up to another huge plot of protected forests. Please enjoy Mother Nature's healing love, and leave the area cleaner than when you arrived. Always let someone know where you are headed and when you plan to return.
