DUTCHESS COUNTY
Outdoor Ambassadors FROM MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS, LAKES AND TOWNS to pastoral farmlands and trails,
the gift of nature is never far away in Dutchess County. A wealth of outdoor activities makes it perfect for nature lovers: nine formal gardens; 23 major parks; six multiple-use areas with woods, fields and ponds; and three paved rail trails. Dutchess County's foremost outdoor enthusiasts explain what they love about the area's natural wonders. As an extreme sport enthusiast, my passion for the outdoors comes with the territory. I love being in the fresh air under a blue sky, standing on green grass (or in lots of snow). In today’s world, most of us are indoors all the time. I’m thankful to have grown up knowing the value and importance of experiencing the outdoors. From breathtaking views to the abundance of wildlife, there’s no better place to be than Dutchess County! —Carolyn Beisiegel, proprietor, Big Bear Ziplines, Inc
My favorite hike is Mt. Beacon. You leave the hustle and bustle of Main Street and feel like you’re a world away in minutes. We hike it all year long, day and night. There’s nothing like hiking up to watch the sunset and then catching the view of Beacon and Newburgh as night falls. On a clear night you’d swear the river was a mirror, the way it reflects the city lights. Kayaking along the Hudson is amazing. To sit in the middle of the river with Bannerman’s Castle in front, and Breakneck and Storm King Mountains dropping to the river banks in the background, it takes your breath away. You can spend hours traveling north, but come here and you’ll spend your time hiking and kayaking instead. Every Wednesday summer evening, we lead a sunset paddle to Denning’s Point, and after four years, I still look forward to it because you always see something new. —Katy Bell Behney, Mountain Tops Outfitters
Whether walking through the woods or along the Hudson River, or both at the same time, Dutchess County trails are food for the soul. Sometimes I find a walk, a stroll, a run, a long connected pathway or simply a spot to stop and gaze at the spectacular scenery around me. Try Mills-Norrie Park at sunset, or the Walkway Over the Hudson at noon. Both are bound to delight everyone! Run or cross-country ski through Baird Park and hike through the Hudson Highlands; there are trails for every taste and ability - and I love them all. —Linda Cooper, regional director, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

WWW.DUTCHESSTOURISM.COM
The Mid-Hudson Valley is a Hiker’s Paradise: miles of marked and maintained hiking trails; scores of mountains and hills; acres of park land, farms, waterfalls, marshes, and wetlands. Dutchess has places from A (Appalachian Trail and the Audubon Society’s Buttercup Farm) to (almost) Z! Well, to W, for Walkway Over the Hudson HSP, Wilcox Park, Wappingers Greenway Trail, Wethersfield Gardens, and the World Peace Sanctuary! Explore extensive grounds and trails at six historic Great Estates. Hike up three fire towers and you’ll be rewarded with terrific views. Discover our DEP lands and six DEC Multiple Use Areas. Ramble in nine gardens and four vineyards. From casual stroller to serious peak bagger, we’ve got it all! —Ralph Ferrusi, outdoors columnist, Poughkeepsie Journal
I’ve led adventure programs all over the world, from Hawaiian beaches to the California Sierras, to Italy’s Mediterranean Sea, but there’s no place like home! Born and raised in the Hudson Valley and raising my own family here, I know why the world fell in love with the Hudson River School of Art. Sublime landscapes, pastoral valleys, diverse cultures, all held together by the mighty Hudson River. We are America’s First River, alive with ecology, economy and culture like nowhere else! Join me in canoeing, kayaking, hiking, climbing, fishing, and tasting our way through Dutchess County! —Jeff Rumpf, executive director, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater
Over the years, I’ve cycled all over the country, but the beautiful scenery and historic sites of Dutchess County make it number one on my list. With the recent opening of the familyfriendly, traffic-free Dutchess Rail Trail and Walkway Over the Hudson Historic State Park, Dutchess County is fast becoming the bicycling mecca of the United States. Come ride with me! —Fred Schaefer, Dutchess & Beyond Bicycle Club
We have a diverse range of paddling environments, all close by. To the west, 55 miles of Hudson River, a freshwater tidal river providing an always-changing experience. On the east, we’re bordered by the Housatonic River, a Class IV whitewater playground for those that dare it. Bounded by these major river systems are a dozen lakes and waterways to explore and enjoy. Some mornings I’ll take the hound and coffee out to the Hudson to simply drift amongst the swans and watch the world wake up. Wildlife and scenery abound; foxes, otter, deer, beaver, bald eagles and coyote regard you as a log out on the water. So try something new that’s been here all along. See you on the water! —Marshall Seddon, proprietor, The River Connection, Inc.
Enjoying the Hudson River and beautiful places along its shores is my passion. I’ve had outdoor adventures in amazing places worldwide—and what we’ve got here is extraordinary. Astonishing natural splendor celebrated by writers and artists. In the backyard of New York City, stunning wildlife from bald eagles soaring in the skies to tiny salamanders adding a splash of color to the forest floor. This grandeur is available against the backdrop of places that tell the history of our nation. When I’m kayaking, I’m part of the river, feeling its energy, immersed in its power to inspire and energize. Kayak solo or with a group. Don’t have one? Contact an outfitter for a rental or guided tour. Get out and discover Dutchess—including some Scenic Hudson parks. We’ve got adventures you’re going to love. —Ned Sullivan, president, Scenic Hudson ALL PHONE NUMBERS ARE IN (845) AREA CODE UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED

Fish and Gam e Whether you’re looking for trophy-class fish or you just want to experience the tranquillity of a secluded trout stream, Dutchess County has it all. The Hudson River is quickly becoming the destination point for anglers from around the globe. Our many stocked streams and lakes have miles of public access available, and hunters and water fowlers can challenge themselves at one of our many multiple use areas. For sporting clays, trap and skeet shooters, Dutchess County is a top Northeast destination, with four shooting clubs and preserves open to the public. There are numerous spots for catching trout, bass, pickerel and perch, as well as places for dip-netting smelt, alewives and blueback herring. The beautiful Hudson itself is an ideal setting for numerous species, including largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, brown bullhead, carp, white catfish and American shad. Dutchess County is one of the top two counties in the Southern Region of New York State for deer hunting, with a special archery season for deer spanning a total of about six weeks. In designated hunting areas you can also find pheasant, grouse, woodcock, squirrel, cotton-tail rabbit, raccoon and waterfowl. Be sure to contact the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in New Paltz for specific fishing and hunting regulations and other relevant information before your planned visit.
