Walkway over the Hudson

Has anyone visited? Which entrance did you use? Looking for a hike with a dog too. Would like to spend up to 3 hours and not sure where to start.

Re: Walkway over the Hudson

We went a few years ago on the Poughkeepsie side. It's a lot of fun.

Did you want a separate hike from the Walkway? Unless you want to walk all the way across (we didn't but DD was only 3 or 4 at the time) I don't think you'll need that long.

There are lots of great places to hike in Dutchess and Putnam. This is a good resource: NYNJ Trail Conference

Walkway over the Hudson

We went a few years ago but in the west side. It was nice and I remember there is a park but we didn't really venture anywhere except the walkway. Like pp said, there is so much great hiking in the area. We've done mohonk, minnewaska, an ice cave, a rock scramble, and in still mad dh did the watchtower without me lol.

Re: Walkway over the Hudson

We did it last year from the east side with our dog. It's a beautiful walk and they're very dog friendly. We didn't go beyond the walkway and the park right there though

Re: Walkway over the Hudson

Thanks everyone!

We parked on the street on the Poughkeepsie side. The walkway is only a mile across so we did the loop which is 4 miles. We also went into Franny Reese park on a marked trai. It was a beautiful day. There was a nice restaurant on the water with outdoor seating which i would try next time.
