Overview
A small park with big views.
COLD SPRING, Putnam County (0.7 acre) — It’s hard to believe this riverfront oasis was once the busy loading dock of the West Point Foundry, an important 19th-century ironworks (located nearby in what’s now the West Point Foundry Preserve). In addition to offering magnificent views of the Hudson Highlands, the park is a great place to begin excursions into Foundry Cove and Audubon New York’s Constitution Marsh Sanctuary, havens for waterfowl and migratory birds. (Kayak and canoe rentals are available through Hudson River Expeditions.)
The West Point Foundry Archeological Site consisting of Foundry Dock Park and the West Point Foundry Preserve is a National Historic Landmark.
Free and open year-round, sunrise to sunset.
