Beautiful walkway with spectacular views of our gorgeous Hudson Valley. I especially enjoy it during autumn with all the colors on display. It is dog friendly but not all dogs are comfortable walking over the bridge. Although the trails at either side of the walkway are green, the walkway is concrete so although you'll love the walk, your pup might be more interested in what's at either end.🙂

The bridge is a steel cantilever bridge and crosses over the Hudson River. The bridge was a two-track railroad bridge that freight from 1889 to 1974 after a fire damaged part of the deck. Then, it converted to a rail trail and that people can walk on it.

Breathtaking!! It is incredible to see this bridge take on a new chapter in it's life! If you want a good walk, scenic views and get a better understanding of its history, I highly recommend that you walk this bridge. It's full of life everyday, from routine walkers and runners, to tourists looking for the perfect photo to families learning about the area together!

Fantastic spot, multiple options for walking to change distance - over and back on walkway, loop through Poughkeepsie, other parts of rail trail. Views were spectacular, bathrooms at each end plus vendors with snacks and drinks. Would highly recommend for anyone passing by.

Definitely worth a visit. Beautiful views of the river, the shores, the bluffs. It's fun to watch the big barges pass underneath the bridge and look at what they are carrying! And the plaques on the bridge talk about some of the local and regional history, which is very interesting.
