Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve
Details
Cold Spring, New York
Hudson Highlands State Park in Cold Spring, NY, offers scenic views along the Hudson River, easy to moderate trails, and historic landmarks.
We will hike at a very moderate pace—not too slowly, but not too quickly—along several trails, including the Cornish Estate ruins and Little Stony Point. The outing is scheduled on a weekday to avoid extreme crowds.
Afterward, we will return to Cold Spring for a quick tour of the Hudson River park and its scenery. We may also have an ice cream snack while waiting for the train.
Bring lunch and plenty to drink. Expect approximately 4 to 5 miles of hiking. If you have poles, take them. No pets.
Public restrooms available after the train arrives in Cold Spring.
