    A lovely site with a small museum with some interesting exhibits about the war. The museum itself is free but accept donations. Nice staff. There are a few souvenirs for purchase. The site has its own parking lot but can also be accessed from Bear Mountain via a hiking path. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and saw some men there with a few older tools and items used during the war time. They were explaining how the items worked. A nice visit while in the area or while at the Bear Mountain Park. Some interesting things to learn there.

    Amazing place. 1) The museum itself is small. 2) The location is great. 3) It is free. 4) They have clean restrooms and ample space for parking. 5) You can park here, and take the trail to hike Popolopen Torne, Anthony's Neck, etc. 6) If you do not want to hike, then Bear Mountain Bridge and Trailside Museums and Zoo at Bear Mountain State Park are walking distance. Come, visit, and enjoy the rest of the area.

    Stunning views of the Hudson and the bear mountain bridge. A well signed and obvious path leads from station to station where plaques describe the various uses of the fort, the battles that occurred and the history of its creation. A park station has restrooms and vending machines and is conveniently located adjacent to the parking area. Hiking down the slope towards the river is possible but unmarked and at your own risk.

    Historical Park - how can't I give this a great review! Very nice view of the Hudson Valley. Very knowledgeable - the office was closed so couldn't go inside to see the history of it. Worth checking out if in the area

    Very important strategic control of the Hudson River during the revolutionary War. Occasional demonstrations are fun and informative.

    This is a 6.8 mile (10.9 kilometers) moderately challenging hike (1,007 feet elevation gain) at…read moreMinnewaska State Park Preserve. Highlights of the trail are Sam's point, Ice cave and lastly Verkeerderkill falls. At Sam's point there are dramatic overlooks and spectacular cliff views, A photographer's paradise. Ice cave was amazing, we had to go through some crevices, my headlamp was very useful at those dark areas and footpath, I noticed remnants of ice inside even at the start of summer (that's when I did the hike), did a little rock scrambling outside the cave, there was an extraordinary ridge overlook at the end of the cave and a fantastic view from a large rock outcrop. The most challenging and strenuous part was the hike from the Ice cave to Verkeerderkill Falls - rocky, narrow, lengthy, uneven, wet, slippery, stream-like path, trekking poles and waterproof hiking boots was a big help to endure the trail. Verkeerderkill falls is a spectacle to see, there are a few ridges, escarpment, and ledge spots (somewhat perilous as all were near the drop-off) to rest and view the falls (I found a good spot facing the falls while hydrating, snacking and replenishing my energy). A solid day's workout, this is everything I could ask for from a great recreational, adventurous, stimulating hike with mother nature.

    Very interesting and fun hike. Me and my friends hiked for 5 hours total. We've visited the ice…read morecaves and the waterfalls . Didn't make it to the lake because it started to thunderstorm. The hike to the waterfall is long so pack a lot of water. Also if it didn't rain before , the waterfall will be very light. In general it's a perfect place to connect with nature and cool down inside the ice caves. P.s. you still can see big chunks of ice deep down in the caves.
