Bob Shepard Highland Landing Park

Once home to industry, now a front row seat for admiring the Hudson River.

HIGHLAND, Ulster County (1.7 acres) — Scenic Hudson helped the Town of Lloyd purchase this former oil tank “farm,” now a local destination for relaxing on the riverfront, enjoying superb views and a refreshing breeze. The park links to the Walkway Loop Trail. For inquiries, call 845-224-4464.

Free and open year-round, sunrise to sunset.
