Rockwood Hall State Park forms part of the Rockefeller State Park. Originally this large tract of land was home to Rockwood Hall, one of the largest private homes in the U.S. The property was then owned by oil magnet William Rockefeller, brother of John D. Rockefeller.

In 1946 the impressive manor house and all the outbuildings were razed to the ground following foreclosure by the bank. Care was taken to preserve the beautiful gardens which boasted hills, woodlands and meadows. Today the park is open to the public for walking/hiking along miles of well-maintained trails, many of which offer outstanding views of the Hudson River.

Address: Rockwood Hall State Park, Phelps Way, Pleasantville, NY 10570
