Top Parks in Fishkill, Dutchess county, New york, United states

Pollepel Island

Address: Pollepel Island, Beacon, NY 12508, USA

Park

“The building is falling apart despite conservation. They no longer allow people to get close to take pictures due to possible falling debris and possible collapse around the main building, but you can still go into the summer home, where the exhibit is. The $40 ticket is pricey but part of it goes into the impossible conservation here. Any instagrammable exhibit in NYC would've cost the same or more without the same historical importance and significance. The island is small and the tour only leads you thru a small section of the island that is safe and tended to by the garden club, which is still unnecessarily far away from the main castle. If you want a really close shot and explore all the other buildings lingering around the island, kayak may be a better option, but you might miss out from the detailed historical tour. Not sure if kayaker can get ashore, as they reserve the pier for their tour ferry. Other spots of the island, away from the main popular spots, are not rigorously maintained aside from having an obvious trail to walk on; dont expect pretty garden all over the island. That said, they do diversify to other theatrical activity on the island, such as Dracula show during Halloween season. Definitely a gem on the Hudson, not to be missed. Oh, not wheel chair friendly, and dont eat there. Just eat and go to bathroom before the tour. Have a good time!”

Malouf's Mountain Campground

Address: Beacon, NY 12508, USA

Park

“Had a great time here. So many good things to say: - shuttle from the train station to the mountain was great. Very convenient to be picked up and have our packs taken to the campsite while we enjoyed a hike. - individual campsites were pretty private - the primitive campsite had everything we needed - a fire pit and grill for cooking, firewood, a picnic table, and a tarp to cover everything in the event of inclement weather - the bathhouse was clean and stocked with toilet paper. Showers were great as well. - some really good hikes in this area. The trails were pretty well marked. We were a bit out of shape and took it easy, but there were all kinds of challenging hikes with some great views. - The staff were great as well. Very helpful and personable. We had such a great time we decided to book again this season.”

“Breakneck Ridge is the best hiking trail in US if not the world. Medium difficulty but very rewarding with views at rest plateaus. Commanding views just get better the higher you go. Scouts and cadets love it. See mountains in distance with Hudson River in foreground. View of Breakneck on right from West Point.”
