About Haverstraw Beach State Park
Haverstraw Beach State Park sits beside the Hudson River as part of the larger Rockland Lake State Park complex, lying north of the Rockland Lake golf course on the east side of Route 9W. The Hook Mountain Nyack Beach Bikeway and Hudson River Greenway pass through the grounds. The site is noted as the place where British Major John Andre and General Benedict Arnold met in 1780 during the Revolutionary War. Earlier, a shipyard and dock operated here during the local brick industry, and later the spot became a popular swimming hole known as Redstone Beach. The park is part of the Palisades Interstate Park system and is functionally connected with Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain, and Nyack Beach state parks.
