Need some local knowledge. What are the bridge clearances? A good hunt online has not yielded anythng specific to that road.

I have found that when in NY , any road that is labeled as a parkway is NOT RV friendly..... I have NOT been on the sawmill , but a lot of other parkways... The Southern States Parkway and Belt Parkway have clearances as low as 9'8"

Looks like the general answer is no: The following type vehicles are not permitted on the Parkways within the Parkway system, unless authorized under an agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation:(a) bicycles;(b) buses;(c) commercial;(d) golf carts;(e) hearses, except those operated by or for a licensed funeral director or undertaker while traveling to or from a funeral, interment, cremation, place of death or other destination for the acceptance and shipment of the body or remains of a deceased person;(f) house coaches(g) motor-driven cycles;(h) school buses;(i) semitrailers;(j) snowmobiles;(k) tractors;(l) trailers;(m) trucks.

demoon covered it campers are not allowed on parkways in NY. Also they don't fit.

Hmmmm, OK. I know the bridges on some of the parkways are low. Thinking some on Long Island I've been on (car). Also recall being on a parkway somewhere in the NE pulling the trailer, not Sawmill though.RVs are not commercial, unless being towed on delivery of course, so the restriction really is about height & bridges same as any other road.Changing the route is no biggie but the parkway sure would be much more pleasant.

I have used the Sawmill River Parkway numerous times - in a car. There are a number of very low bridges. Large vehicles are prohibited.To add to what damoon posted, a House Coach is defined as "Any vehicle motivated by a power connected therewith or propelled by a power within itself, which is or can be used as the home or living abode or habitation of one or more persons, either temporarily or permanently. In the application of these regulations to house coaches, a house coach propelled by a power within itself shall be deemed a motor vehicle, a house coach motivated by a power connected therewith shall be deemed a trailer, and all house coaches shall be deemed vehicles."Parkway Vehicle RestrictionsWhen driving the motorhome, we use I684.
