History

Rutland State Park offers a fantastic, free off-leash area for dogs to run and play, alongside a dog-friendly hiking trail.

The park provides ample seating and shaded areas for relaxation while observing your pets.

Free parking is available, and there’s no entry fee, making it a convenient day trip destination.

Located near historical colonial areas, Rutland State Park adds a layer of interest to your visit.

Whitehall Pond offers opportunities for swimming, boating, and picnicking near the beach.

The park is part of the 21.2-mile Rutland Trail, a multi-use rail trail extending from Norwood, New York, providing a great option for hikers and bikers too.

The park's history dates back to its establishment as a state park, initially focused on recreational use and conservation efforts.

The park’s 300-acre expanse includes Whitehall Pond, a key feature for water-based activities and scenic beauty.

Regular improvements and maintenance are carried out to ensure the park remains a safe and enjoyable space for visitors and their canine companions.
