If you want to feel like you're standing in the middle of the Hudson River, come to Piermont Pier in Rockland County, NY. The pier extends about one mile across the river toward Westchester County. You can either walk, bike, or drive (with a parking permit) to the end. I don't recommend driving because there's just way too much foot traffic along the way. Parking should not be an issue because there's plenty of lots near the entrance and end. While you're walking along the pier, you will get to enjoy beautiful views of the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge, mountains, and the other side of NY. It's also a popular spot for fishing. There are benches scattered throughout the walkway so you can sit and take in all of nature's beauty. It is so peaceful and serene here. I would recommend this spot as a date idea if you're into romantic walks ;) At the very end of the pier, there's an info graph of its history: "Hand-built in the mid-1800s, the 4,000-foot-long pier originally served as the terminus of the Erie Railroad; passengers disembarked from trains onto boats bound for New York City. During World War II, some 500,000 GIs stepped off the pier onto troop ships headed for Europe, earning it the nickname "Last Stop U.S.A." There are also rental boats, kayaks, and canoes available. It's close to the restaurants and bars in Piermont so you can enjoy a nice meal/drinks after your walk. I would love to catch a sunrise here and will be returning in the near future.

We've been here a bunch of times with friends & our dogs ! Always a great time. The pier has beautiful views. Despite the numerous trash cans, there is usually significant trash on both sides of the paved pathway.

So I've been planning to visit this area by cycling from Westchester since Fall and having scouted the route over the weekend now I have an idea what road condition I will encounter in the future bike ride. On the way to the pier, the road is a bit narrow for a two way lane and people walking to and from the pier. You have to be very careful and not drive off the asphalt road for some parts of it has no enough shoulder or set back if you will. At the end of the road is the pier which I am not sure if small boats still use this for loading/unloading. The pier is almost at the middle of mighty Hudson river and has a nice view of the MCBridge, Westchester (Greeburgh) and the Rockland County. I didn't notcied any bathrooms by the pier and there are enough parking spots and on the side of the stretch of the road I notices some benches and posted parking by/with permit. I noticed some nice restaurants by the village center and will try out some of it. The Piermont Bicycle Connection can be also found in this area. I am planning to come back again here maybe after a good snowfall amjust to get another feel and sense on how it is differ. Also looking to visit this on 3 other seasons.

The cutest little pier to walk down! This guy averages about two miles so bring your walking shoes. There's a few lots to park in for free before getting to the pier. I highly recommend doing that because all parking along the pier is permit only. It's mostly fisherman that do that anyway. So you've got some great views while walking down the pier. One side of mountainous Jersey then the other of NY. Right along the middle is the beautiful river and tappan zee bridge. It's really an amazing view. At the end there's a little roundabout and you circle your way back. There's a nice little dock where you can just sit and relax. There's also a nice little spot with a TON of info about the area. We were probably there for 15 minutes just reading it. You are allowed to drive down the pier but I don't recommend it because there's tons and tons of people walking around. You'll be going 4mph the whole time. This place is very dog friendly. Also bundle up! It's always colder by the water.

What a shame that this place doesn't have more reviews! My friend and I decided to drive to a nearby park because we were on break from our classes and we definitely do not regret being little explorers. First off, the area is very beautiful and peaceful and Piermont has always been known to be one of the beautiful towns in Rockland County. Second, this is the perfect place to get away from any noisy areas in Rockland and enjoy a serene environment. I was actually mentioning to my friend that this park is the perfect place for a first date and getting to know someone because it does have a sweet, romantic vibe to it. I really do wonder how it looks at night overlooking the Tappan-Zee Bridge. I put a few ideas in my own head and I'll most likely be back for more :) I love discovering new places not too far from home. Sweet!

Nice relaxing spot in this little town. My friend and I drove up here yesterday just to get out of the city to hang and wait for the sunset. Tons of locals running, walking their dogs and fishing. There are benches all along too, including some makeshift ones. I wonder how many first dates have happened on them? It ended up being a lovely sunset. BTW -- you're not allowed to park along the pier -- it's by permit only. Instead, park along the marked spaces at the beginning or end. The pier closes at 9! I'd also recommend leaving a little before then -- the tide went up on the road while we were driving back. If you have a low riding car, that wouldn't be fun.

This place was amaZing!

We found this place by accident today. What an amazing place. You need a permit to park if you drive out. We parked at the entrance and walked all the way out. The best part? I could bring my pup the whole way. There's even a dog run which requires registration. The views were amazing and it wAs a peaceful nature walk. The path goes About half way across the Hudson River. It was about 2.5 ish miles from the entrance to the end and back. Great dog walk. We will be back again.

7th September 2026 Untermyer Gardens…read moreYonkers, NY Very Sunny 72°F Did you know that in 1913 Samuel Untermyer hired William Bosworth who was the same designer of Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico, to design the "finest garden in the world"? His vision was of a theatrical, magnificent landscape blending Indo-Persian, ancient Greek, Roman, and Italian Renaissance designs. When I was last here in 2013, the Untermyer gardens looked sadly desolate and neglected. Today, the gardens have been restored to their true remarkable glory thanks 100% to generous donations in the millions. We could not have chosen a more perfect day to visit the celebrated historical Untermyer Gardens overlooking the Hudson on this glorious Labor Day Monday. I took many photos which do not do justice to the gorgeous scope and details of the beautiful manicured 43 acres. ***Open 7AM to 7PM - seasonally.*** There's more information on their website and QR codes at the entrance with rules to respect the environment. Good job! **Get there early.** We went at 8:30AM. By the time we were leaving at 11AM the park was packed and parking impossible. Thank you so much for reading.

Untermyer Gardens is one of the most beautiful hidden gems in the New York area. The grounds are…read morealways stunning, but they're especially spectacular in September when everything is in full bloom and the gardens are filled with vibrant colors. Admission is completely free, although donations are accepted to help preserve this incredible place--which is amazing considering how well maintained it is. It's the perfect destination to spend about two hours, whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll, take plenty of photos, or do a little of both. The breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades make the visit even more memorable. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes getting there easy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get fairly crowded on beautiful weekends, but it's absolutely worth visiting and returning to throughout the year.

My home away from home! My family and I have been coming here since before I was born…read more To add a little context to that, I am a Freemason in the state of NY. So was my maternal grandfather. We are both a part of Lessing Lodge 608, which is a member of an umbrella organization that owns the park and the now defunct nursing home across the street. So I may be a little biased when reviewing this place. Across the street was a nursing home for many years, then it was a college dorm, now sadly its falling apart. So this review will be for the active park side. During the winter months, this park is closed, but come late spring to warmish fall, this place is hopping! It gets rented out most weekends to anyone looking to use the park. The park itself hosts its annual Traubenfest the first weekend every Oktober. The individual lodges that make up the umbrella organization "own" the little booths/pavilions scattered throughout. They are responsible for the maintenance of them. All in all a very unique location! It is a great spot to have a large picnic or party with thousands of people.

This is a great event filled with German cuisine (bratwurst, potato pancakes, etc.,) and let's not forget tons of beer. Beers are typically about $6 per cup (about 12 ounces) but you can bring your own been stein and they'll fill it to the brim for a slightly higher cost. There is no exchange of money with the vendors at this event - you have to purchase tickets at the entryway which double as cash. The cool thing is that if you under-spend, you can get your money back. The local police do a nice job of facilitating the parking situation and everyone is in a genuinely good mood. There is dancing and entertainment for the adults, with a bouncy house and blow-up slide for the kiddies (not free of charge...my friend learned that the hard way...her son owned the ticket lady about $10 for repeated slide rides). Ooooh...he was fresh! Too bad they don't do this every weekend in the fall.
