An amphibian's delight 4. Sterling Forest Conservation Day 7. This interim guide focuses on continuing in Sterling Forest State Park those traditional uses of the land that are compatible with park policies. The following are answers, provided by PIPC, to some of the most frequently asked questions about your new park. The new Highlands Trail, which coincides with the Sterling Ridge Trail and the Allis Trail, is marked, and links with the Appalachian Trail.
Parking is available at trail heads.
Trail expansion and additional parking needs will be considered as part of the master planning process. Hunting is allowed by permit in much of the Park, however, some sections will be closed to hunting at all times. Permits issued by Sterling Forest Corporation will be honored through September 30, 1998. Others can apply for a permit for the spring turkey season at the Palisades Interstate Park office at Bear Mountain. A bow-only season will be open from October 15 to 31.
