The Hyde Park Healthy Trails Walkabout is an annual program to encourage walking for health.
Developed in partnership with the Dutchess County Department of Community and Behavioral Health, the Walkabout encourages enjoying Hyde Park’s trails throughout the year — not only for health and wellness, but also for the learning and appreciation of the natural and historic landscapes that make Hyde Park such a special place. And besides, it’s just plain fun.
The details:
- There will be a group hike to the Scenic Hudson Overlook and back. Distance: 2.70 miles.
- A shorter hike will be led to the halfway point and back. Distance: 1.5 mikes.
- Hikes will be lead by NYS Park Staff and Scenic Hudson Staff.
- This is a relative easy hike on a woodland path with magnificent views of the Hudson River and Esopus Island. Wear appropriate shoes as there could be muddy sections this time of year.
- Parking is at the parking area at the end of Thompson Lane at Mills-Norris State Park.
