New York is full of state parks, national heritage areas, historical parks, a national seashore, and other parks. All of which provide visitors with an escape from the city and a chance to explore natural wonders, discover historic sites, and take part in a wide variety of recreational activities, such as hiking, boating, camping, biking, glamping and wildlife viewing.
