Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park



About the Walkway Over the Hudson:
The Walkway over the Hudson provides access to the Hudson River’s breathtaking landscape for pedestrians, hikers, joggers and bicyclists. Feel free to take a stroll at your leisure or rent a bike if you’d like (based on availability-must contact us beforehand to reserve). This is self guided with instruction. The bridge deck stands 212 feet (.06 km) above the Hudson River’s surface and is 6,768 feet (2.06 km) long, making it the longest and highest elevated pedestrian bridge in the world! This bridge is connected to the beautiful Hudson Valley Rail Trail. This bridge gets over half a million visitors per year! It is your choice if you’d like to walk down and back or just one way and we’ll pick you up on the other side. The bridge is 2.60 miles down and back or just 1.30 miles one way.
