Come to the Walkway…and see for yourself what everyone’s talking about! Walkway State Park represents a desire to preserve the best of our history, our culture, and our spirit, and stands today because the people of the Hudson Valley vowed to transform a relic of days past into something new and vital. Thankfully, against all odds, they succeeded. Since it opened on October 3, 2009, nearly 2 million people have visited the park to stroll, cycle, walk, jog, and roller blade over its mighty steel trusses. People come from around the world to gaze at the Hudson River flowing 212 feet below, to immerse themselves in solitude, and to reflect in a magical setting. It took another 35 years before a grassroots nonprofit called Walkway Over the Hudson was able to galvanize support to save the historic bridge and transform it into Walkway State Park. When trains began rumbling over the bridge in 1888, it was the longest bridge in the world. The bridge became a key transportation hub linking western raw materials to eastern industrial centers, until a fire in 1974 crippled the railroad bridge. Before it became Walkway State Park, this massive 1.28-mile steel structure was known as the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge, an Industrial Age superstar that once bore the weight of 3,500 freight cars a day!
