Incredible views of the Hudson River any time of the day and every season. Love the fresh air, calming of the water. Have walked the mile plus over the bridge and biked over it. Wide paths...

It was a spontaneous visit for me and my wife. So great... loved the walk. The view was pretty. If you appreciate history and hiking you will love it. I must return to visit the towns and have a weekend getaway.

Great family activity. The straight, flat, perfect pavement makes it the ideal place to take kids to walk, ride bikes or roller skate. If you want a more private experience, definitely consider what time you go because the walkway can become a busy place. Make sure you're prepared for the weather, everything is amplified - there's no shade from the sun and it can get very windy. The vibes up here are lovely 💜
