Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park

Definitely worth a visit. Beautiful views of the river, the shores, the bluffs. It's fun to watch the big barges pass underneath the bridge and look at what they are carrying! And the plaques on the bridge talk about some of the local and regional history, which is very interesting.

Fantastic spot, multiple options for walking to change distance - over and back on walkway, loop through Poughkeepsie, other parts of rail trail. Views were spectacular, bathrooms at each end plus vendors with snacks and drinks. Would highly recommend for anyone passing by.

Breathtaking!! It is incredible to see this bridge take on a new chapter in it's life! If you want a good walk, scenic views and get a better understanding of its history, I highly recommend that you walk this bridge. It's full of life everyday, from routine walkers and runners, to tourists looking for the perfect photo to families learning about the area together!

Beautiful walkway with spectacular views of our gorgeous Hudson Valley. I especially enjoy it during autumn with all the colors on display. It is dog friendly but not all dogs are comfortable walking over the bridge. Although the trails at either side of the walkway are green, the walkway is concrete so although you'll love the walk, your pup might be more interested in what's at either end.🙂

Great walkway over the Hudson, except for the elevator not being open to get back up to our car. Very nice views and most bikers were very considerate and going slower. Lots of walkers and restrooms on the other side were nice with AC!! Managed to walk over to the other bridge too, and did the entire loop. It was super hot and full sun so wear a hat, bring water etc.
