| Hudson River Activities |
| The Hudson-Fulton- Champlain Quadricentenni al celebrates the 400th anniversary of the voyages of discovery made by Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain. |
The Hudson River is one of our most significant tourist attractions and
there are a wealth of activities that the River provides. You can walk
along it, walk above it, glide along it, or cruise on top of it. Dine at The
Rhinecliff Hotel and watch the sunset, or take a hike along Poets Walk
and catch the train whizzing by. Whether its the main attraction or just a
remarkable backdrop, the Hudson River is an extraordinary part of our
everyday lives and activities.
To really experience the river, get out and get on it! From May through
October, Hudson River Cruises are available throughout the week and
sometimes twice a day. This 2 hour cruise departs from Kingston and
takes a leisurely path down to Hyde Park-- see all the homes and
mansions from the River and learn a little more about its history along
the way. This is also a great way to take in the Fall Foliage during
September and October.
Want to get even closer? Go for a kayak tour with Lee or Edie at
Hudson Valley Kayak Tours. They will work with you to design a tour
that fits your schedule and experience.
Finally, there is no other vantage point like the Walkway Over the
Hudson. Scenic Hudson’s leadership grant to Walkway Over the
Hudson helped transform the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge into the
world’s
longest elevated park. Using the elevated park and the Mid-Hudson
Bridge, visitors can walk, bike, or jog a 3.5 mile loop. Originally built in
1889 (the same year as The Looking Glass), this bridge reopened for
pedestrians in 2009.
