Park is equipped with benches, tables, a bridge walkway, a restroom and in my opinion plenty of photo ops. The bridge leads to the Discovery Musuem and goes straight into Waryas park.

This tiny little slice of a park is probably overshadowed by it's flashier sibling up above, but…read morethe Upper Landing Park is still quite charming all on its own. It's nice and clean and looks like it was recently built. It sits at the base of the elevator up to the Walkway over the Hudson, but it is also a nice place to just chill and relax, watching the river go by. My only quibble with the park is that it could use some wider paths to accommodate cyclists, and it could use some sort of signage to point people towards the Roosevelt Bridge. We had to consult our own maps to figure it out. It's not a destination park, but it's really a nice place to stop at if you're in the area.

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.

We had no ticket or issues when we returned to vehicle. Restrooms near start of walkway (open & clean), walk was slight incline, but paved. The views were very nice once over the Hudson. There were food trucks & a gift shop, but nothing was open due to Holiday.

It doesn't get better than finding a park right next to a body of water, which is the Hudson River…read more There is a small parking lot as you enter just past a building, which use to be an old train station back in the day. Now it's used for other uses. The train track that runs along the park is the CSX line which carries a lot of freight cars that seem to never end. In the park, there is a walkway bridge that pretty much parallels the Hudson River providing a nice view onto the east side. It feels breezy for the most part as it comes as no surprise, so a coat or light jacket will come in handy. There is also a boating dock for anyone who wants to bring a boat onto the river, which includes a ramp access where the car can back down to detach and reattach it. For a nice relaxing and unique feel, Bob Shepard Highland Landing is a great place to check out.

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.

Coming into Milton Landing Park is quick scenic and easy to find, with two being a pro. There's a decent amount of parking, but enough to fill some in. The best part about it is, that there's plenty of space to move around as a pedestrian. Across the railroad tracks is a field of grass to explore with benches and also two docks to walk up onto the Hudson River. Be careful of the winds, especially when wearing any head gears. On the parking lot side, there is a building that was once a train station and remains still to this day. Near it, there are three panic tables to sit at an old train track to walk on, and a building that cuts the track off. It's a wonderful place to kill time and watch some freight trains come by with a ding sound at the crossing, instead of a gate.
