Despite my best efforts in the past to do Fall train rides, which turned out to be disappointing only because there was never any good colors on trees, this by far is the very best fall foliage experience I've ever had in my life. You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.

The drive takes you past lakes, the beautiful green scenery etc. If you plan to drive here at night, it is pitch dark, I don't recall seeing a light post. There is a boating dock along the drive. It is close to the Woodbury outlets and bear mountain, so you can make a full day of activities. Restrooms may be hard to come by.

This is a great drive, especially in the fall. In fact, I came here twice in the last 2 weeks (and…read morethis is over an hour away from my place). Fun roads, with minimal traffic (at least early). Lots of great scenery. There are a few cool small roads that intersect it that are really fun. Many hiking options. We did one that was fairly nice, and a little challenging in fact (some minor climbing). I can't remember the name, but the entrance is right by the visitor center. Tip: Storm King Hwy is not far, and is a REALLY fun drive!

The fact that I even have to give this disgusting excuse for a boat club one star is a disgrace…read more Through the years, we have been up here countless times on our boat. The docks have always been disgusting, falling apart and rotting. Their "club" is a bunch of rude drunks sitting under a tent at a picnic table. However, we have always returned because Cold Spring is a beautiful town. They started charging $10 an hour because their "club" can't afford the rent. Today, we walked up, I smiled and said hello to the disgusting drunk that was stumbling toward us screaming about how it's $10 an hour, something we're well aware of not only because we come here often but because their pathetic docks are plastered with ugly signs stating this. I should have immediately called the police as he continued to get closer to us, slurring his words, looking for what I can only assume was a physical altercation. My husband has the parking app but he was on his phone and was on a call, so we stopped and were waiting at the gate leading to the town when the man continued to stumble toward us grumbling about how we were trying to sneak in without paying. I respectfully said that my husband was on the phone and as soon as he was done, he would make the payment on his phone. This is all happening while we are STILL STANDING WITHIN THEIR CLUB GATES. He starts screaming about how they had to kick people out for sneaking in over the weekend. I can say with 100% certainty that no one was trying to get out of paying $10 to dock their boat. The people in this "club" have always rude and nasty however I have never experienced something this pathetic. Clearly this lowlife drunk only finds joy in his pathetic life by harassing visiting boaters. The troll under the bridge has been replaced by a troll under a tent.

This marina is great for local businesses in Cold Spring as well as for boaters. It serves as a…read moregateway between the boating mecca on the Hudson River and the local businesses in the village. This is a smart idea to help boost the local economy. The free guest docking gives me a destination to take my boat and, as a result, I frequent Cold Spring as often as I can during the summertime. Most local marinas don't offer this, and most towns don't have enough attractions to encourage me to dock there. When I take friends out on my boat, the Cold Spring Boat Club is always a primary stopping point. I'll often bring my friends to The Depot, the ice cream shoppe, and sometimes stop in other local businesses. Collectively, between friends and myself, we've easily spent $1,000 at local establishments. All they ask at the boat club is that guests sign in with their boat info and total number of people on board. The marina is a very peaceful atmosphere. The members are friendly, blue collar, and usually spend their weekends out BBQing at the marina pavilion. If I lived a little bit closer, I would definitely keep my boat at this marina.

The main street also looks liberal with an enormous rainbow flag and an anti-anti-trump sticker in one of the windows , which makes the vibe even more appealing.

Canopus Lake is splendid!…read more It has all the appurtenances of an outdoor oasis. Part of Clarence Fahnestock State Park, it stretches long and windy (shore line of nearly 4 miles around) up Route 301 and is about 100 acres of wetland and forest to explore, with picnic sites, boat ramp, a dock and trails. There are copious amounts of fish (bass, bullhead) in these backed-up reservoirs and unlike the mighty Hudson River; there are no nuisances like ships, dinghys, haulers, traulers.. Canopus Lake is a quiet and calm lake close to both Garrison and the neoned restaurants/bars in the river town of Cold Spring, NY. This area is not as forlorn and uninhabited as say western Massachusetts: it's got some fantastic, taste-bud dazzling dining, gas stations that double as markets, infamous West Point - as well as nifty outdoor exploration venues; like Canopus Lake!
