    Beautiful park with gorgeous views of the Hudson. I always forget this place exists when going to Beacon since there's just so much to do and places to visit. Decided to switch things up recently and actually relax and unwind at the park while taking a quick work break while working. The views here are so beautiful and the park itself is very clean and relaxing. Sat by the very end of the dock by the steps while the water current was still low and you can get really close to the steps by the water. It happened to be a super non busy day so it was pretty quiet and relaxing with people doing Yoga or just going for walks or little picnics on the grass. Leashed dogs are allowed here so that's a plus! Can't wait to come back next time for a picnic or even do the walking trails. Parking is free but it can get crowded.

    This is the real Beacon! Not the Main Street which charges stores. You can buy your hiking gear just on Main Street. Hike paths to see birds, beach, Lanape - Wappenger's tribe original site , see geese, rent a kayak, drums nights. Sun sets. Accessibility to all! This place is so social. If in the mood. Take a ferry across the river to Newburgh's Riverfront to eat over looking where you just were. Feet shuttles back and forth. Also rather the party boat at night. Best to take kids in day. Park closes at sunset. I have hike every , square inch of this place. So people get frighten when I pop up out of a spot the idea of, to photograph a bird.

    Make way for the Geese, the duckling, birds, groundhogs, so much life!

    This is my favorite part of Beacon. Park is for multiple purpose use- so roller blade, jog, ride bike, cone for Drum Nights (Thursdays) it's beautifully designed! Gets very busy on weekends, thus if possible best to go on weekdays, you feel the whole beach to enjoy. Personally love wild life photography, geology, studying the rocks along the beach, or walk to the point where Lenape tribe, used to come to fish. Many layers of meaning, mixed with many possibilities for all who visit.

    So while still on my vacation I wanted to try somewhere different and I found this park. My first time here today and it was beautiful and clean. ( free to enter) So peaceful and many different trails to walk. Yes flat trails which I like and got my cardio in lol. The docks are beautiful if you want to just sit and relax. Definitely a nice place to come and not only enjoy the trails, the fresh air and views but maybe to sit and read and enjoy Nature. There are Porta potties and I hate using these, but surprisingly they were very clean. Only thing didn't like was no hand sanitizer inside them, but luckily I had my own! I definitely want to come back and check the other trails and just enjoy the outdoors before the cold weather comes...yuck! Lol.

    One of my favorite places especially during the fall. Views of the river are beautiful. Clean walking trails. Dog loved it! Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Perfect spot for a coffee, lunch or walk with the pup.

    My boyfriend wanted to catch Pokémon and I will never turn down an opportunity to get some steps in. Came here after visiting the Dia: Beacon and stopping by a pop up shop. Parking goes quick here so come early. It's a great spot to take in some great views of the Hudson River. Come here during the Fall and you can catch some beautiful foilage scenery perfect for taking photos. I really enjoyed the scenic view and will definitely be stopping by here again the next time we decide to visit the area.

    This park is so beautiful. And so well kept! Why am i only finding it now..? Regardless, it has amazing views of the river and bridge, really nice little trails that take you thru some trees and such and down to a bay area of the river, and its obviously dog friendly :)

    Beautiful views! As new residents of Beacon we are slowly exploring our way around and decided to check out long dock park. At first we thought there was only the dock area to walk around and take in the view but then we kept walking and discovered the trails.. very nice! Parking was convenient as well.

    Hmm...one word to describe Long Dock Park? Serene. What a wonderful spot in Beacon to jog trails, walk the dog, take in a sunset, hone your photography skills, or enjoy the peacefulness and forget about life for a few moments. Do yourself a favor and stop on by for a while to decompress. Ah, yes. There is ample parking available as well at this gem on the Hudson.

    Parking area, ample apace for parking, theres another lot down to the right by the water

    Really nice small park by the water, clean, appears to have a jogging trail attached The pier area appears new, modernly construction with form and function in mind Dock has built in stools with fishing rod holders Stairs leading to the water for ease of docking small boats Lots of grassy space for picnicking and lounging Good view of the town across the river Boat launch on the right side

    Advice: arrive early for a parking spot. Sometimes the parking lot is full because there is a…read morehiking group, other times it's individuals or families. This is a great short hike about 45 mins per the park ranger but without stopping you probably can finish around 30-40 minutes just strolling. You can climb up the hill for a better view though the climb down is a bit steep and rocky, not recommended for toddlers. There is also a beach that is full of tree trunks for a nice break. Go breathe the fresh air and get away from the city.

    This is the perfect spot to unwind after conquering one of the bigger hikes nearby like Bull Hill…read morejust across the street or Breakneck Ridge about a mile up Route 9D. I'd been to the beach a few times before I realized one of the trails climbs up the small cliffs, offering a stunning vantage point overlooking the river. Wish I'd known about that hidden gem before. On a summer evening with a glowing sunset, it's a prime spot to snap some memorable photos. So, make your way to Little Stony Point an ideal way to cap off a day of hiking around Cold Spring. Even if you're wiped from your earlier trek, I promise you'll make it there. This place is fantastic. Split by Route 9D, it offers two distinct experiences: on one side, a Hudson River beach where people swim and relax; on the other, a hiking trail that winds through the intriguing ruins of an old estate. This was easily one of the most captivating spots we explored.

    I visited Hudson Highlands State Park for the first time to hike the Blue Trail, also known as the…read moreCornish Trail. It was only my third time hiking, and that's when I realized how much I love hiking. I definitely plan to hike more often. The Blue Trail is considered beginner-friendly, I found parts of it a bit challenging because of the incline. Still, the effort was worth it, the view of South Beacon Mountain was absolutely beautiful. The hike itself was a great experience, especially with friends. Near the train station, there are small shops where you can grab food, drinks, or any last-minute supplies. There are also restrooms by the station and portable toilet near the trail areas. I would definitely come back to hike there again, maybe do the red trail.

If you go in the winter, take caution with the ice when climbing to the top. After about an hour into the trail, you will see a sign to continue on the Full Loop or the Short Loop. When we reached that point, we switched to the Bull Hill Short Loop. It took around 3 hours to complete. The trails have beautiful views! You will see other hikers, but everyone keeps a safe distance. Take time to stop and enjoy the surrounding. There are portable toilets at the beginning of the trail with hand sanitizers if you need to use a bathroom.
