NEW YORK VICINITY MAP & GUIDE

Walkway Over the Hudson is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and improving Walkway State Park. With ongoing contributions from our many partners, volunteers, and donors, Walkway Over the Hudson works diligently to fulfill the vision for this world renowned park in the sky. We’re busy building a 21-story waterfront elevator that will link Poughkeepsie’s shoreline to the Walkway; raising funds to build a world class Visitors Center; providing activities and educational programs for the park’s 500,000 annual visitors; and recruiting and training volunteer Ambassadors to support park staff. Our critical mission depends upon engaged members, volunteers, and donors who share our vision for the park. Please consider supporting the Walkway in any of these ways:

Become a Member! Help fulfill the promise of the Walkway so millions can enjoy this spectacular park for another 100 years! Membership levels begin at $40.

Become a Volunteer! Join our team of specially trained Ambassadors who help us lay claim to being the Friendliest Park in the World!

Become a Steward of the Walkway! A leadership donation will be recognized with a beautiful and lasting bronze medallion installed at the Walkway’s Center Observation Area.

DUTCHESS COUNTY TOURISM

20 Broadway, Kingston

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Come to the Walkway…and see for yourself what everyone’s talking about!
