Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές τρεξίματος Fishkill

If you're in New York and want to go hiking, this is the ideal place. Easily accessible by train, scenically beautiful, and interwoven with many trails of varying difficulty.

Mount Beacon Park, part of the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve, is beautiful, with fantastic hiking trails and spectacular panoramic views. The park's trails, which range from moderate to challenging, lead to the summit of South Beacon Mountain, with a restored 60-foot fire tower, offering breathtaking vistas that stretch from the Manhattan skyline to the Catskill Mountains, especially on a clear day. The park is also home to the remnants of the historic Mount Beacon Incline Railway, once the world's steepest, and the foundations of an old casino and hotel, adding a unique historical dimension to the natural beauty of this area.

This junction, where the Blue Trail (an unnamed trail) intersects with the Fishkill Ridge Trail (White), gets its name for the abandoned bulldozer that sits here. It's a great point of reference, as the trail can be tricky to follow as it winds through this shady area of the forest.

It is difficult to walk through all the viewpoints. But most show the Hudson River. The reservoir is different here...

Great view point from Breakneck Ridge of Lake Surprise and Lake Surprise Camp.

The view from the tower is impressive, no question about it. We visited the place on a hike from Beacon to Cold Spring and be careful: the way down towards Cold Spring is much steeper than the ascent and goes over some rocks. In the alpine area it would be an easy via ferrata. Be especially careful with children and use appropriate shoes.

A romantic reservoir with trees in the middle of a wooded valley. The water shimmers slightly green, it is more reminiscent of a species-rich biotope than a water reserve. Many mosquitoes, which annoyed us there, also remind us of this.
