1 Valley — 45+ Parks
The Hudson Valley is rich with natural beauty and historic sites. We’ve been protecting and preserving important places here since 1963. Come explore with us.
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been reported throughout the Hudson River and its adjoining creeks. HABs can produce toxins that can make people, pets, and wildlife sick if ingested, inhaled, or touched. Please visit the DEC’s website for more information on how to stay safe, and the current locations of reported blooms.
Reminder: Fall is Hunting Season in the Hudson Valley.

Reminder: Fall is Hunting Season in the Hudson Valley
- Know when and where hunting is allowed. Specific park websites should provide that information.
- Scenic Hudson allows hunting at Shaupeneak Ridge. Hunters must follow designated rules and remain in areas indicated on this map.
- Wear bright clothing (think orange, red, yellow).
- Keep your pet leashed. And outfit them in a fluorescent harness or other bright colors as well.
- Hike during the day. Hunters are most active at dawn and dusk.
- Stay on marked trails.
- Make some noise! Deer don’t carry on conversations, so the best way to identify yourself is by making some moderate noise — while being respectful to your fellow hikers.
