Mohawk River State Park may be accessed from a small parking area at the end of Whitmyer Drive in Niskayuna.[1][4] Although the state initially planned to add amenities such as picnic areas and a boat launch,[2] as of 2012 the park remained almost completely undeveloped, including a lack of signs identifying the state park by its current name. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation noted that no further development was planned, and that the park was intended to preserve the natural landscape and host passive recreation such as hiking.[3]
