Excellent views

Awosting Falls is always gorgeous, regardless of season and recent rainfall. It is an easy walk from the parking lot with other little falls and pools on the way up, making it a great trail for small kids. You can see the falls from both the top and bottom via a short trail.

The Walkway Over the Hudson, also known as the Poughkeepsie Bridge, is a steel cantilever bridge spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland. Originally it was built as a railroad bridge in 1889, then closed in 1974 due to fire damage and later reopened as a pedestrian walkway in 2009. It connects the Hudson Valley Rail Trail with the Dutchess Rail Trail and is part of the Empire State Trail. Stretching 6,768 feet, it was the world’s longest pedestrian footbridge until 2016. The bridge is free to access and welcomes cyclists as well as foot traffic.

Vents cold air which is really refreshing on a hot day.

Almost like a ruined medieval fortress

The Rosendale Trestle Bridge, situated along the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, is famous for providing a breathtaking view of the Rosendale area and the Roundout Creek. It's recommended to ride slowly across the bridge due to some boards needing maintenance.

With its spring in Massachusetts the Housatonic River flows for 149 miles to southern Connecticut into Long Island Sound. The Appalachian Trail follows the river from the covered wooden Bulls Bridge to Falls Village. The river is also a popular whitewater paddling destination with mostly Class I to Class III rapids.
