First time here,and I will
definitely be back. It was late afternoon ony way to upstate NY and I decided to stop by. I found out an easy trials with beautiful views to enjoy the Hudson River. You feel peaceful by the water. We found a cave 👀 too. I totally recommend to stop by if you get the opportunity. A place for the whole family 🫶 including your pet 🐕🐈‍⬛🦧🐶😄Free parking, bathrooms and a map.I want to say thank you for it 🙌

You are hiking/climbing a mountain!
Not a novice climb. Tight rocky trails & very steep climbing. Several trails all have different levels of intensity.
5 mins breaks highly recommended.
Comfortable hiking shoes, a water bottle, snacks. Incredible views & the refreshing meeting people on the trail.
A negative the only restrooms are portable toilets, a water dispenser w a hand soap on a table outside, no sink w running water.
For so many hikers washroom facilities is important.
A tent w park workers is available w maps etc.
Parking takes some time to attain.
Overall great experience
Will visit again.

This place was amazing we came from new york city to here to feel some natural beauty it was really beautiful and we had a lot of fun.

Hike is nice but you should beware of ticks. There were couple of warning signs.

I visited Hudson Highlands State Park for the first time to hike the Blue Trail, also known as the Cornish Trail. It was only my third time hiking, and that’s when I realized how much I love it, I definitely plan to hike more often. Although the Blue Trail is considered beginner-friendly, I found parts of it a bit challenging because of the incline. Still, the effort was worth it and the view of South Beacon Mountain was absolutely beautiful.

The hike itself was a great experience, especially with friends. Near the train station, there are small shops where you can grab food, drinks, or any last-minute supplies. There are also restrooms by the station and a portable toilet near the trail. I would absolutely hike here again!
