    Innisfree Garden - late October 2024

    Innisfree Garden

    BLUF: Beautiful, timeless garden; use restrooms elsewhere…read more Innisfree Garden is open to the public between late April and mid-November every year. We visited in late October last year, and more than ten years ago before that. The garden has a timeless beauty, and many of the details looked identical or nearly the same as in our prior visit. The visit experience is essentially a counter-clockwise loop around Tyrrel Lake that can be slowly walked in about 60 to 90 minutes. Per Innisfree Garden's website, the garden is divided into miniature "cup gardens" -- sets of different features / "focal points" that all connect to the lake and the path around it. For both for our visits, I think we were most attentive for about the first 60% of the path, as "feature fatigue" started to set in just past the bridge over the lake. We quickly walked through / past the wood cabin during of our visits. Logistics: The Garden is about 90 minutes from New York City by car. Do consider bathroom breaks before or after visiting the Garden, as the restrooms here consist only of porta-potties. Cellular coverage at the Garden is weak, so it may be difficult to retrieve digital tickets from your phone if you haven't already downloaded them. Fortunately, one workaround is to tell them your name, if you are the person who booked the tickets in advance. Bring your own food and water as necessary, as these are not sold in the Garden. Wear sturdy shoes with grip and ankle support, as there are some steep angles along the initial part of the path and by some features.

I think the majority of reviews have hit the nail on the head. This place is a not so hidden gem of the Hudson Valley. It's so beautiful, it's a challenge to take a bad image because it is so picturesque. There are undulating scenes which can be framed in your mind's eye and pops of interesting subjects (a sculpture, rock formation, hills, etc.) to see. It's a splendor visually and changes with the seasons. It's not as manicured as a Japanese garden...it's more expansive. I think the beauty of this place can haunt you. General admission is $10. Membership also starts at $50/season.

    The Cary Institute was a discovery I discovered a while back, which I finally checked out. This…read morereview covers the trail I experienced, even though it's an environmental science business. There are two entrances to get access to the path from 44, one located at the main building, and the other, at a small building (which is empty most of the time). Plenty of parking to fit many vehicles, and easy to get in and out. The paths are fairly easy to follow, even though some signage may be off and the connector trails are not marked, which is a problem. Other than that, the trails are marked with the appropriate color. Another problem that sticks out (maybe I missed it), is they should provide a map with the trails on the information board. I don't get why parks screw up with this? The East Branch Wappinger Creek is the highlight of the journey, and also the field with both having a decent view, which I personally enjoyed. Some improvements would up my rating for sure. The link to the map: https://www.caryinstitute.org/sites/default/files/public/downloads/campus_trailsinsert_legend_map.pdf

    An excellent place to take a leisurely hike. They have a really nice trail system; great for…read morewatching wildlife or spotting wildflowers. It's never overcrowded, and there are tables for picnicing. Paved internal roadways are also nice for biking with the family -- away from the dangers of busy roads. A great local resource.
