No, it's not "the" intersection in NYC, but a rock in Harriman State Park, NY. It's well-known/named because it's prominently located at the junction of several hiking trails, including the Long Path, Arden-Surebridge (red triangle/white), and Ramapo-Dunderberg (red dot/white). It's now a landmark, where hikers can access the Appalachian Trail via various routes. A nice stop in the middle of the woods.

The Lemon Squeezer is a small but famous narrow rock passage on the Appalachian Trail (AT) in Harriman State Park, NY, near Island Pond. Hikers on the Appalachian Trail (AT) aren't the only ones who have to (or can) squeeze through a narrow gap between the rocks. In winter, when ice is present, it won't always be possible. For those who don't want to squeeze through, there's a fun climbing option to the left of the rock formation or a slightly less difficult detour. This spot is sure to be unforgettable.

Covering 43 acres with an average depth of 15 feet, Lake Askoti is a popular spot for fishing. The lake is stocked with hundreds of Brown Trout which means anglers have a good chance of making a catch at one of the many access points along Seve Lakes Drive.

A beautiful lake for a relaxing break. The lake is great for swimming, fishing, or simply enjoying nature. There are nearby picnic areas.

Schunnemunk Mountain reaches up to an elevation of 1,664 feet, but the best views come just after the summit. Turn down the spur trail named "Monoliths Trail" and walk to the end (it's just a couple hundred feet long). This summit has a huge clearing that offers pretty expansive views.

The Wallkill Wildlife Refuge features a viewing area in the main parking lot along with a well-kept double-track hiking trail that circles around the property. You can easily connect to the Appalachian Trail that passes through the nearby Pochuck Mountain State Forest on its way east.

This elevated observation platform offers an ideal vantage point to observe the numerous bird species in the preserve. During the spring and fall migrations, you can see thousands of waterfowl, while songbirds and wading birds, such as the great blue heron and indigo bunting, are common in the summer. The fall sparrow migration is awe-inspiring, and during winter, it is prime time to spot raptors such as the northern harrier, rough-legged hawk and short-eared owl.
