Monsey Glen County Park
Get DirectionsPark Overview:
The Glen is a tract of land with a full growth of verdure covering many walking trails. It contains scenic natural beauty with sandstone overhangs. Below, a stream flows to the southwest. Plant life is unique since the glacier bypassed the area. It is one of the few places in the Rockland County where Trailing Arbutus grows.
