Taconic Mountains Ramble State Park Details
There is something very peaceful about strolling through this stunning 204-acre park. The open fields, the dense forests, and the tranquil Japanese gardens provide the perfect backdrop for a day out in nature. Opening to the public in 2016, this is one of the newer parks in the state system. It was donated by the late documentary filmmaker Carson "Kit" Davidson, who developed the land by himself over the last 46 years. He was responsible for building the gardens, trails, and meadows that you see today. There is a lot to see in this park, although most of the main attractions can only be reached by steep trails. Bring your hiking boots and enjoy the fabulous views from atop Mount Zion Major and Mount Zion Minor.
