Sleightsburgh Park

A walk into the river just minutes from downtown Kingston.

ESOPUS, Ulster County (79 acres) — Excellent fishing and breathtaking views abound at this park, conserved by Scenic Hudson and owned by the Town of Esopus. Short trails parallel Rondout Creek, leading through a wooded peninsula to a spit of land extending far out into the river — proving you don’t need a boat to get the full Hudson experience.
