New York State Park · Chemung County
The forested hill where the Continental Army met British regulars, Loyalist rangers and a thousand Haudenosaunee warriors in August 1779. Newtown was the decisive clash of one of the Revolution's largest offensive campaigns.
The park is open for recreational opportunities year-round with dawn to dusk winter access only by foot from the bottom of the hill and no facilities open. Limited parking is available during the winter between County Route 60 and the park gate.
The lower gate opens for vehicle access when the Main Campground opens and remains open until the weather turns, typically in November.
