Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park

Beautiful walk with far reaching views. 212 ft above the water! The town is fun to explore on foot, a nice change from wandering in a car. The impressive large US post office on the east side of the bridge is registered as a historic building and has huge murals and bronze and marble all over the inside. Really amazing and you can of course wander in for free, or buy some stamps in a building that looks like a museum.

A photographer's dream! The Walkway Over the Hudson is beautifully maintained and well worth the drive. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed — the little gift shop at the entrance is a sweet touch, and it's nice knowing someone's looking out for you. Parking was a breeze, and I appreciated that they let you know ahead of time which app to download before you visit — very helpful for first-timers. The walkway is well-traveled with plenty of people around, which gives it a great energy. My son and I both had a wonderful time. Absolutely worth the trip!

We walked it on a gorgeous morning from end to end. We stopped to use the binoculars and could see so much. It was a nice surprise to have the team catch up with us and take us part of the way. The driver was lovely.

Great place to take a wonderful day of either hiking or just enjoying the wonderful scenery. The parks and the bridge are immaculate they do a great job on keeping it clean and fun Thank you

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.

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.🙂

Such a beautiful place to visit. The views are amazing, especially on a clear day, and it’s a great spot for a peaceful walk. I liked that it felt relaxing but still interesting, with plenty of space to enjoy the scenery and take photos. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

A breathtaking view of the Hudson River and surrounding hilly region. An important note to set the destination in google map as We found it a bit confusing to reach the start of the bridge. Set the destination on Google maps as 1. Visitor Center @ the Walkway over the Hudson. (U can take elevator) 2. 84 N Water St, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601(walk along the river and take elevator) 3. 49 Parker Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (u can directly access the start of the walkway) There are vendors at the end of the bridge to have drinks and snacks after a long walk. There is an elevator which will take you down to the riverbank if you want some good pictures keeping the bridges at the backdrop. There are restrooms at entrances and one down the elevator. We had to leave early as we visited on 4th July and they closed it at 4 pm to reopen it @6pm for fireworks. I am sure the sunset view will be breathtaking. Will visit again. Also, consider visiting Ashokan reservoir if u have some time left for the day.. Take a look at the picture where u can do payment for the parking. Remember the numbered parking lot where u parked ur car. Take a small walk and find the parking kiosk in the platform( probably track2) Visit walkway.org for more info …
