Charles Rider Park - Rhinecliff - Kingston Bridge.

Being in the Kingston area got me stopping here. There's a lot of parking spaces to park in a…read morecouple of sections, and we parked on the big gravel on the south side. Picnic tables are accompanied along here and the other section on the northern side with many more. Grills are provided for a plus near the picnic tables. Boat docks are used in this park for anyone's pleasure, and there's plenty of room for it to be done right. The view of the Hudson River is an incredible closeup, seeing the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge as the highlight and also viewing the east side of northern Dutchess County. In the distance on that side, you'll get a glimpse of the train tracks of Amtrak and occasionally CSX trains passing by. We happen to see an Amtrak heading north as we were leaving. Looking even further, especially if it's a clear day, you'll see the town of Rhinecliff to the south. It's a great place to have a get-together and to take in nature at this location!

There's an almost Zen feel here. It's fairly quiet, almost cozy. The picnic tables are spaced…read moreprobably 25 to 30 feet apart, with grills between some. But you may want to bring your own lawn chairs if you want to sit on something other than a picnic table. There's plenty of parking space. You're right along the river, and there's a deck area where folks lounge and fish. You have quite a view of the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge. If you're there when the Rhinebeck Aerodrome is open, you'll occasionally see one of their planes fly over the river to about the same latitude as the park, which is evidently their turn-around point. You'll have some very nice views of foliage during leaf-peeping time.

I actually discovered this park - on a whim. I didn't know much about parks in Port Ewen until I…read morepassed by this park on my way to a Shipt customer this evening. When I later stopped off, the signs out front of the park were confusing - but I trudged on and into the park. However, once I found a parking spot (no spots are really marked per se), I couldn't believe just how lovely it felt to stop by. I like relaxing spots and having it be a warm day and being so close to the Hudson River, I felt that "cooling" refreshing breeze sweep over me. From the signs of the river breezes rushing in towards the banks of the parks, I could tell it was going to storm. Lots of places were saying to stay tuned for storms for tonight. However, I stopped by (for about ten minutes) and it was a surprise. The park may not be very much of a park at all. There are a couple of kid playland pieces and an enclosed table area (which has been closed by the park's management in light of coronavirus as is seen by tables being stacked on top of one another). However, that doesn't stop people from taking their stuff over onto the grass under or near the trees as I spotted today by this one couple having a picnic on the grass with their kids. In spots, I spotted some kids going into the water at the shore's edge - still in the safety of eyes of the caretakers (don't know if they were parents or not). Except for a few spots, there are few to no signs of no swimming - although beware, the beachfront isn't large enough to be considered a beach, and there are no lifeguards here! I don't know the accuracy of the statement of what I think I saw, but there's an outlet area near the parking lot that looks like it's been used as a boat launch area before. However, that too has signage, but nothing about no launching boats here. I mean, I could see this place as a great picnic spot for when you are out of ideas and need a cool refreshing breeze to pick you up, and having some of the Riverview Apartments nearby, makes things a bit refreshing to see relaxation places show up in these times of closure (where walls begin to cave in) - up close, and I'm glad to have been a part of them today. I probably won't be back because I don't live close enough by, but I guess if I'm in the area, I could stop by - probably on another whim.

It's been several years since I was on Kingston Point Beach, and up until today, I had never had…read morethat one moment of "peace, quiet and tranquility" you get when you visit a beach - alone. However, was coming back from dropping a Shipt order (from Target) nearby so thought I'd stop in when I ran across this beach. I had known about this beach for quite some time, but kept forgetting about it's whereabouts, until I discovered it's one and only route when finding it with Uber. However, when I got to this beach, I knew I was unprepared to go in, but I went in anyways. I didn't have a towel to dust myself off, but knew I had to - due to my calloused feet. I went into the water - just as far as a few inches - so the waves and water could reach and go around my ankles. However, was totally flustered at all the tree branch pieces on the dry sand which made the walk quite an interesting one which kept stabbing my feet as I came to walk in and out of the beachfront. I mean, I had sandals, but I wasn't thinking about towels...nor did I see a water-cleansing spout, so I don't think anyone here really has mentioned that people do need these smaller services. I loved the scenery. The Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge in the distance, and even the fact that speedboats tend to help bring in waves occasionally. If it wouldn't be for the 18 minute jaunt and the fact that there's a toll bridge in the way between my Dutchess Co home and this beach, I'd be here more often - and today it was almost a necessity at 90 degrees plus Fahrenheit. I saw a few beachgoers sunbathing on towels and several in the water with only a few lifeguards. I also saw some volleyball courts, but no one was playing there. Just wish that you wouldn't have to cross past these during a game to get to the beach. Not cool - thank heavens no games were going on when I went past. Parking was excellent. Despite not having the best spots for handicapped, there are several really great spots at the wall near the entrance locations- but that road getting to the park can be a bit rough, and because it's so far out of tune of everything else, can be a little bummer to feel safe and secure at these beaches and parks. There's little in the way of beachfront parks to send kids to here. However, it's quite a walk to the nearest kids and dog parks across Delaware Ave. I know I made the right choice today, just wish I would have come more prepared.

Nice beach, it actually is a tributary of the Hudson River. My son and wife love going there on…read morehot summer days. It's easy to access and a great launch point for kayaking.

Although this rail trail was billed as being paved, calling it paved is a misnomer & it's a good…read morething our bikes could handle it because it is actually an all-gravel trail. We parked at the Woodstock-Dike Trailhead & the views of the reservoir & surrounding hills near there are beautiful, as is the fresh smelling air & green, green trees. Most areas you pass are pretty, such as wooded hillsides that slope down towards the reservoir, sounds of birds, lots & lots of forested spaces, a small residential area with KEEP OUT signs & small streams of water running alongside the trail. Tons of chipmunks crossing the trail. We saw lots of walkers, a few, fellow bikers & stopped briefly at a few of the large signs that tell of the history of how the reservoir was created as well as the rail trail. We misunderstood & thought this was a loop trail going all the way around the reservoir, but we were wrong. It only skirts the northern side of it, so we rode 8 of the 11 miles, turned around & ultimately rode 16 miles total. Good, bumpy, gravelly ride. Good signage, good parking, benches one the side of the trail as well as distance markers.

I loved walking this trail! Miles and miles of beauty, fresh air, tall trees and water views. It's…read morean 11.5 mile flat trail along the Ashoka Reservoir.
