<!--Any major expansion to this section should be done at the article "Appalachian Trail by state" -->
New York's {{convert|88.4|mi|km}} of trail contain very little elevation change compared to other states.<ref name=newyork>[http://www.appalachiantrail.org/about-the-trail/terrain-by-state/new-york "Terrain By State: New York"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527081251/http://www.appalachiantrail.org/about-the-trail/terrain-by-state/new-york |date=May 27, 2013 }} AppalachianTrail.org (accessed June 24, 2013).</ref> From south to north, the trail summits many small mountains under {{convert|1400|ft|m}} in elevation, its highest point in New York being Prospect Rock at {{convert|1433|ft|m}}, and only {{convert|3000|ft|m}} from the state line with New Jersey. The trail continues north, climbing near Fitzgerald Falls, passing through Sterling Forest, and then entering [[Harriman State Park (New York)|Harriman State Park]] and [[Bear Mountain State Park]]. The lowest point on the entire Appalachian Trail is in the Bear Mountain Zoo at {{convert|124|ft|m}}. It crosses the [[Hudson River]] on the [[Bear Mountain Bridge]]. It then passes through [[Clarence Fahnestock State Park|Fahnestock State Park]], and continues northeast and crosses the [[Metro-North Railroad]]'s [[Harlem Line]]. This track crossing is the site of the only [[Appalachian Trail (Metro-North station)|train station]] along the trail's length. It enters Connecticut via the [[Pawling Nature Reserve]]. The section of the trail that passes through Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks is the oldest section of the trail, completed in 1923. A portion of this section was paved by 700 volunteers with 800 granite-slab steps followed by over a mile of walkway supported by stone crib walls with boulders lining the path.<ref name="Applebome">{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/31/nyregion/31towns.html |last=Applebome |first=Peter |title=A Jolt of Energy for a Much Trod-Upon Trail |work=The New York Times |date=May 31, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220617103259/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/31/nyregion/31towns.html |archive-date=17 June 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> The project took four years, cost roughly $1 million, and opened in June 2010.<ref name="Applebome" /> The project was done by the New York–New Jersey Trail Conference, which maintains and updates the Appalachian Trail in New York.
