We've been here several times. It's a nice place to stroll, take pictures, and view the 4th of July fireworks. It's free most of the time, but they did charge for the fireworks. Worth it though to be almost on the same level so you don't crane your neck!

This is a great use of on an old railway bridge. Accessible to all and well looked after. The views are amazing. A great way to spend half a day.

The walkway over the hudson is a wonderful way to get some exercise and see the Hudson River. Make sure to take an umbrella if it looks like rain

This is a must if you like industrial heritage, with a great walk / cycle / run. Parking lot on the Poughkeepsie side of the river not so easy to find, never the less a great hour or 2 out and can be combined with a couple of nice spots to stop at on the waterfront at Poughkeepsie.

The Walkway is a great addition to the Hudson Valley's many attractions. The views are fantastic, particularly in the fall when the leaves change color. It's a great way to exercise while enjoying the scenery, along with people on bikes, dog walkers or parents pushing strollers, The people watching is very entertaining. There are informative environmental and historical signs along... More

Very enjoyable walking over the Hudson River on the Walkway over the Hudson, while reading its history on the various signs along the route, would recommend.

The Walkway offers the opportunity to take a walk (or run or rollerblade or bike) across the Hudson River in an airy environment. You can get some nice photographs as well. It can be sunny and windy since it's so open (no shade or cover), so it's a good idea to bring sunglasses and a sweatshirt or something, depending on... More

The wide walkway was filled with baby carriages, dog walkers and bike riders as well as the fitness walkers. It's nice to say you did it but to make it a good time, plan to go out to eat in a restaurant with wate views.
