The Lemon Squeezer is an unusual rock formation in Harriman State Park, New York. It is located at the intersection of the Appalachian Trail (White) and the Arden-Surebridge Trail (Red Triangle), near the base of Island Pond Mountain.

At first, the trail passes under a giant boulder resting precariously on top of other rocks. After passing this point the true nature of the Lemon Squeezer becomes apparent as the hiker suddenly gets "squeezed" through a path that is three feet high, one foot wide, and angled 15 degrees. Beyond are still more interesting rock formations where pine trees grow on top of a thin rock ceiling above the path.
