Day Trip: Linear Park is an Extraordinary Experience

Opened in 2009, Walkway Over the Hudson State HIstoric Park has become one of the region’s—the state’s—most popular destinations.
That’s not hard to understand, given its extraordinary views up and down the river from 200 feet up.

“At 212 feet tall and 1.28 miles long, it is the longest elevated pedestrian bridge in the world,” according to the nonprofit group Walkway Over the Hudson which made it happen and which still supports the park.
