    Park your car in the small lot and walk toward the Mid-Hudson Bridge, but don't go too far. To your…read moreleft you'll see a black gate, a bit of signage and a steep downward staircase.. take it. Then head under the stone tunnel and into the forest. The hike starts with a steep incline, that works the glutes! I loved it but recommend preparing yourself and wearing comfortable footwear. The area is marked with plenty of signage to keep you on trail. Lots of beauty to take in, with great views of the river, Mid-Hudson Bridge and Walkway over the Hudson. I imagine it even more magical in the Fall. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress

    A wonderful park indeed, with the highlight of a great view viewing the Hudson River and Mid Hudson…read moreBridge. Parking at the Macks Lane end can be challenging depending on the time of day, with a couple of spots and enough room to park on the side. There's enough room while getting out, and plenty of space to move around while getting to the trail. At the Johnson-Iorio Memorial Park end, there are plenty of spots to park at. Depending on your direction, the trail has an uphill/downhill gradient along the way. It's a workout for sure when going uphill. It's very easy to trip with so many rocks and tree roots on the ground, so please take caution. The trail is well indicated by its color and is shown on the tree barks hung up. Of course, the maps are provided at each trailhead for convenience. UPDATE: The white trail which I recently took is a cool trail, doing a loop that connects with the yellow in a different spot not too far from that starting point. It is steep in this section, which requires small steps along the way. There is also a shortcut to cut over to the other side to make it shorter (don't recommend it). Also, on the way, there are ruins, which were once a big Mansion that was abandoned in 1949, with unknown information on how it got destroyed. Pretty cool history. When in doubt, take a rest, it's needed.

    Really cute park with lots of easy hiking trails at a former apple orchard…read more The views are really pretty especially for sunset time and it's located at the highest point in Poughkeepsie. I love that throughout the trail you have little signs explaining fun facts about the animals you find there and insects such as frogs and fireflies. Really cool to learn while you walk. Came here in November for some photos but there wasn't too much foliage. Can't imagine how beautiful the park must be during spring with their apple blossoms and being able to Apple pick too! The cool thing is this park is run by a nonprofit, The Friends of Peach Hill and they're always looking for volunteers to help maintain this beautiful place. Porta potties available and beware of ticks. Signs are posted everywhere when you first walk in and I took my very first one home from just walking around and being in low cut grass area. That's the only downfall and main thing I can't evennnnnn deal with in the north east. Other than that, cute park with lots of picnic tables and areas where you can enjoy creation.

    I generally don't like leaving low reviews for parks, but my recent trip I made (10/1) wasn't what…read morewe expected, a lot of apples on the ground with bugs flying around and making it a trapping hazard, and plus the lack of signage on the trails especially the white trail. Most of the side trails are connectors leading from one trail color to another, but please put on a sign in there indicating it. My sense of directions are great, while some others it may not. For the mud on the red trail, please take caution as it can be very messy due to rain. My advice, just turn around and take a different trail color. A major upgrade would be great for this park. Besides that, just be careful where stepping and not getting lost. Rating: Issues - 1 Park 4.5 Overall: 2.7 **Read my original review for overall and general information**

    The Hudson Valley Rail Trail has made some big upgrades during the past couple of years, which made…read morethe experience more lively and enjoyable. Expanding it further from Tony Williams Park to New Paltz is a dinger. I'm glad to see that the expansion took place. This section of the trail starts at the Walkway Over the Hudson. Most of the trail is flat along the way with gradual uphill and downhill, and nothing steep. It's easy to spot especially when riding a bike. Be on the lookout for bikers when moving on foot since the trail is not that wide. The trail is concrete along the journey, which doesn't make it difficult for bikers. There is no line drawn, at least on this portion. Overall, a great trail but I do wish they would upgrade with bathrooms along the way.

    We biked on the raised-bed, asphalt trail that we began on the eastern side of the Walkway Over The…read moreHudson & then turned around at the intersection of Route 299 and Putts Road in New Paltz (and then rode returned to Poughkeepsie' 10 miles each way). Trail goes through a couple of overpasses, passes by a sweet little rest stop-of-a-garden, an old caboose, X-shaped crossing signs warn you of driveway crossings, signage telling of the history of the former railroad that ran on this path as well as the info on the creation of the rail trail. There is not much of charm to this trail but it is safe, very well maintained & good for walkers, runners, roller blading and biking.
