Scenic Hudson’s Long View Park — Attraction in Town of New Baltimore

The trailhead was marked clearly and a map was on the front info board. So I started walking down the trail from an amazing old red barn and got confused when I couldn’t even tell where the trail went. I circled back and started again, this time cutting through what looked to be no more than a deer trail through waist high weeds. I wasn’t even sure this was the official trail at this point. However. There was a man on a tractor mowing when I started and on my way back, I noticed the trails had been cut clearly in big swaths through the grasses.

Overall though I would recommend it as an easy,...

The trail is a relatively short loop through fields and woods, and has an offshoot that leads down to the Hudson River. The overlook itself offers a...
