Walkway Over the Hudson Apr 6, 2018 Photography Travel Back in February we flew to Newburgh, NY for a long weekend in the Hudson Valley. The weather was cold but the river and mountains were beautiful, and the small towns were charming. Here are a few pictures from Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park, a former railway bridge converted into a park and walking trail. Downtown Poughkeepsie is full of sturdy, timeless brick buildings that glow beautifully in the morning sun. High above the icy river at Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. A mile or so downriver, the elegant Mid-Hudson bridge carries US Highway 44 and NY Highway 55 across to the town of Highland and the Shawangunk foothills beyond. Comments are closed.
