Glacial Erratic, Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Glacial Erratic, Rockefeller State Park Preserve submitted by clara-nuts : front view of Glacial Erratic (Vote or comment on this photo)
It's a short walk from the parking lot to this large boulder. The front is very impressive, back view is of weak and fractured rock.

Rockefeller State Park Preserve is off the eastbound Route 117; the address is 125 Phelps Way, Pleasantville, NY 10570. Normally there is a parking fee, (or use a New York State Park Pass) as well as a visitor center and art gallery-only the rest rooms are open during the Covid Pandemic.

As of August, 2020 NYS has re-imposed parking fees of $6 or use of a state park pass. When I was there, the gallery with artwork was open as well.
