Accessible Recreation Destinations

Accessible Recreation Destinations (ARDs) are recreation areas located on lands managed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), such as trailheads and boating, camping, fishing, and picnic areas, from which all pedestrians can access wheelchair accessible features. DEC welcomes all visitors to explore state lands, and we are committed to providing an ever-increasing range of accessible outdoor recreation opportunities. See [Accessible Recreation Destinations] web page for more information on the information provided in this data layer and to explore the range of wheelchair accessible opportunities statewide via an [interactive online map] displaying the data in this layer. Accessible Features at DEC Facilities are designed or renovated to be consistent with the [U.S. Access Board Accessibility Guidelines] of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) according to the requirements at the time of construction or modification. Accessible campsites at developed DEC Campgrounds are designated for use by people with mobility disabilities and offer an accessible picnic table and fireplace/ring, along with a firm, graded surface suitable for navigation of a mobility device. See [Campgrounds] page for more information. Accessible primitive campsites on backcountry DEC lands have a firm, graded surface suitable for navigation of a mobility device and offer an undeveloped camping experience on a no-fee, first-come, first-served basis. See [Primitive Camping] page for more information. Accessible boat launches, fishing platforms, and picnic and viewing areas have wheelchair accessible amenities and are accessible by an outdoor access route or accessible trail. Accessible trails have shallow grades, wide tread, and firm compact surfaces of crushed stone, boardwalk, and pavement. Trail access information including trail length, slope, width, and surface type is provided for accessible trails to help hikers select trails that match their interests and abilities. Trail grade, or slope, is described as a percent of rise over run e.g., 1 foot rise over 20 feet run is 5% slope. DEC accessible trails typically have a grade of 2-5% with a width of 3-5 feet and a firm surface of compacted stone; maximum grade of our accessible trails is 12% and minimum width is 3 feet. Outdoor features are subject to storm damage, weathering, and other factors which may result in features temporarily not meeting the standards to which they were constructed. Please check the DEC facility page before your visit for updates and to find contact information for staff who can inform you about site conditions.

Significant Coastal Fish & Wildlife Habitats - NY

To satisfy requirements of Article 42 Executive Law and implementing regulations found at 19 NYCRR 602 which describe the identification, assessment and designations of Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats under the State's Coastal Management Program. The areas involved are all limited to the perimeter waters of NY State including: Lake Erie, Niagara River, Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence River, Hudson River (to the Troy Dam), and marine waters around NYC and Long Island. Original data were hand-drawn over DOT topographic quadrangle sections and filed with local governments. Each identified habitat has an accompanying text narrative describing the living resources values leading to designation as a Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife; web links to these narratives are included in the attribute table of this dataset. For information on the SCFWH documentation contact Stephanie Wojtowicz at the Department of State at the address noted below. Digital data set (version 1.1) was previewed by NYS DEC Habitat Inventory Unit and subsequently corrected as per their recommendations. The original digital version of the SCFWHs, Version 1.2, has been replaced with this current version 2.0. Version 2.0 includes changes/updates to the Peconic estuary (2002), north shore of Long Island (2005), the south shore of Long Island (2008), and the Hudson River (2012). Scale: 1:24000 [View Dataset on the Gateway]
Landward Coastal Area Boundary

The New York State Coastal Management Program has established statewide boundaries in accordance with the requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, and its subsequently issued rules and regulations. The Coastal Map provides an estimation of the official New York State Coastal Area Boundary as defined in Section II of the New York State Coastal Management Program and Final Environmental Impact Statement (CMP FEIS). The coastal boundary was originally created as a set of maps at a scale of 1:48000. This digital representation has been created from the original paper copies through "heads-up" digitizing using geographic information software and the digital NYSDOT planimetric quadrangles at a scale of 1:24000. The official coastal boundary is a written description contained in the federally approved New York State Coastal Management Program, LIS CMP, and applicable LWRPs. The waterward boundary extends 3 miles into open ocean, to shared state lines in Long Island Sound and the New York Bight and to the International boundary in the Great Lakes, Niagara and St. Lawrence Rivers. Generally, the inland boundary is approximately 1,000 feet from the shoreline following well-defined features such as roads, railroads or shorelines as described in the CMP FEIS, unless otherwise indicated. Where necessary this boundary extends inland to include major state owned lands and facilities and electic power generation facilities which abut on the shoreline, major coastal recreational areas, significant agricultural lands, significant coastal habitats, scenic viewsheds of State or national significance, major historic or coastal dependent industrial areas, and the 100 year flood plain. In urbanized and other developed locations along the coast, the landward boundary is approximately 500 feet from the shoreline or less than 500 feet at locations where a major roadway or railway line runs parallel to the shoreline. The seaward boundary of New York State's coastal area includes all coastal waters within its territorial jurisdiction. [View Dataset on the Gateway]
Communities with a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)

Any village, town, or city located along the State’s coast or designated inland waterways can prepare a new, or amend an existing, LWRP to address local revitalization issues in the context of broader strategies and initiatives such as regional economic development strategies and resource protection and management. This dataset was created by selecting municipalities that have an approved LWRP from the “NYS Civil Boundaries” dataset provided by the NYS GIS Program Office. Selected polygons were then exported as a separate GIS layer. For wide accessibility, all LWRPs approved by the NYS Secretary of State are publicly available, pursuant to Article 42 of the NYS Executive Law. Purpose: This dataset highlights the communities with an approved Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). [View Dataset on the Gateway]
Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance

This dataset displays the Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance (SASS) and their respective sub-units, designated by the New York State Department of State's Office of Planning, Development & Community Infrastructure (OPDCI). OPDCI has developed a scenic assessment program that identifies the scenic qualities of coastal landscapes, evaluates them against criteria for determining aesthetic significance, and recommends areas for designation as Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance (SASS). SASS designation protects scenic landscapes through review of projects requiring State or federal actions, including direct actions, permits, or funding. Two areas of the state have SASS designations. The Hudson River valley consists of 6 scenic area designated in 1993. These six scenic areas are designated as Catskill-Olana, Columbia-Greene North, Esopus-Lloyd, Estates District, Hudson Highlands, and Ulster North. These six scenic areas are further divded into 166 subunits. These features depict the outlines of the scenic area boundaries along with the unit name designation. In 2010, the East Hampton SASS consisting of nine scenic areas were designated within the Town of East Hampton New York, totaling 25,050 acres. These nine scenic areas are further divided into 30 subunits. Over 250 separate visual landscapes were evaluated using evaluation criteria based on the results of a scenic landscapes survey taken by over 200 East Hampton residents. The scenic evaluation process incorporates natural factors, cultural factors, views and visual perception factors in a methodology based on state coastal scenic assessment standards. The SASS program provides protection for scenic landscapes from projects requiring state or federal permits, or funding.

New York Geographic Location Descriptions

These data represent the federally approved New York State Geographic Location Descriptions (GLDs). Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, called the "federal consistency" provision, provides states with review authority of federal actions in areas outside of the state coastal zone, which they otherwise would not have, for activities that may affect a state's coastal uses or resources. Federal license or permit, and federal financial assistance activities that are listed in state coastal management programs for an accompanying GLD are subject to state review.

Designated Brownfield Opportunity Areas (centroids)

This dataset contains centroids for designated Brownfield Opportunity areas in New York State. Communities with complete BOA Nomination Plans may request that the Secretary of State designate the area as a Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA). BOA designation facilitates the realization of the vision and goals laid out in the BOA Plan, to return brownfield sites to productive use, and to restore environmental quality. Designation is contingent on a Nomination that appropriately reflects community priorities, presents an attainable and realistic plan to promote redevelopment, and is consistent with the applicable provisions of the General Municipal Law, Article 18 - C, Section 970-r. By requesting designation of a BOA, a municipality or community based organization affirms that it is committed to the revitalization of the area impacted by brownfields.

Hudson River Estuary Tidal Wetlands

This is the third tidal wetlands inventory covering this area of the Hudson. The most recent was performed in 2007 by HRNERR and IRIS. The first was undertaken by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 1998 (NYSDEC, 2003). An earlier inventory of tidal wetlands, also performed by NYS DEC, focused on areas south of the Tappan Zee Bridge although it did extend northward enough to include HRNERR's Piermont Marsh (NYSDEC, 1974). NYS DEC Freshwater wetlands data also covers the study area. Updated as needed and was last updated September 2022
