Nice trail that takes you from a gravel road to walking across a metal grate bridge and along a cement wall for some exploration not typical of most trails. Not a long hike.
Beautiful, easy walk that runs alongside a waterfall, the Fishkill creek and a marsh overlook. Great for picture taking. The trail connects to Dennings Point and along the Hudson to Long Dock Park if you want a longer hike.
Nice, very easy mostly flat stroll that follows Fishkill creek including a beautiful waterfall, a marsh and Hudson River overlook. Photo opportunities at every turn. The trail links to Dennings Point and along the Hudson to Long Dock Park if you want a longer hike.
This is an e collection little place to explore. Waterfalls, a nice walkway along the water, and qn old factory that is great for photographs and street art. Bring a date, bring the kids, a beautiful little place.
Beautiful walkway and the waterfall is breathtaking and refreshing. A special find.
Great place to hike and see the waterfalls.
Beautiful views of Fishkill Creek. The park is open daybreak to sunset.
Nice little park that has a walkway and some waterfalls. Many people come to walk their dogs at this park. There is a very sketchy rundown building with graffiti on it but its all boarded up and you are not allowed to enter. This park is probably nicer in the fall or spring when all the foliage colors come out.
Adorable hike. Very short though. Amazing old hat factory on property.
Very quiet, out of the way, park. Several benches in the shade, a boardwalk that goes along the creek and an abandoned factory and a few great places to view the Falls. Enjoy!
Love this place. Been coming down here since i was a kid. Great place to bring your kids family and friends
It’s a beautiful place to relax yourself!
Small trial and very tranquil, great place to sit and meditate.
The bunches of beautiful scenery with little bit of adventure make your visit pleasant.Watch out of your kids.
Not we’ll maintained & lots of poison ivy. There is a waterfall & some water views but I’d skip it if unless you are in Beacon,NY
Beautiful park with a variety of trails. You can see the waterfall (shorter trail) or walk along the marshland.
A scenic and historic stroll along the Fishkill River makes for quick walk. You can access Long Dock Park on foot by walking the scenic trails, or just sit and enjoy the waterfall.
Awesome park near town with waterfalls!
Beautiful easy walk. Although one side of the loop is completely closed off due to over grown trees.
Great place to go fishing with your family. Also great place to liking
Beautiful waterfall. Very relaxing.
Pretty cool. Short hike. Abandoned buildings..
Great magical experience walking on this trail
Great place to enjoy the waterfall! Combine this short hike with Dennings Point.
Fun spot for a walk on the river and a few photos
It is an old industrial complex near a waterfall. The industrial buildings are fenced off unfortunately but it is clean although there is not much to do.
Perfect for a nice hike, great for fishing. Love that par.
If not crowded, a pleasant place to Walk
Nice lil secret gem to launch a kayak if youre physical enough. If so, its a quick way to pollopel island( bannermans castle) but be aware of tides. The creek you launch out of is tidal and dennings bay gets shallow, but plenty of wildlife to see, including bald eagles.
Very nice park. Great waterfall and views of the Hudson River. Dont hesitate to explore the trails. They can be a bit adventurous. In some areas you will find yourself walking narrow beams to get access to parts of the park. Not a lot of parking so be aware.
Great small shops have something for everyone; wonderful womens shoe store. Cant find what you need? Go downstairs and get lost in the surplus store.
Great access and well kept trails. This a short, easy hike.
Easy trails with beautiful views of a waterfall and marshes. Saw a lot of kids and babies. So family friendly walk.
Nice park with flat paths that are unmarked but easy to follow. Great views of the Falls and marshland. Luv the connecting trail to reach Dennings Point so you can add distance and view the Hudson River.
Small pretty park with limited parking space a waterfall and a short walk through a bog. Connects to Dennings pointe State Park via walkway
Great place to walk,bicycle and fish
Loved the trail! Would definitely recommend treks as it got too icy for us to continue past a certain point. Will definitely be coming back again! Its worth the climb.
My sister and I went there. I used to go there all the time when I was a teenager. Its the most quiet, and serene place to be. Litter bugs stay away, lets not destroy whats left of nature.
I started going to Madam Brett Park back in 2010.I’m a photographer in this place was magical.I have so many pictures and fond memories of this park hidden away in the Beacon NY area.As usual nothing last forever and The contractors have descended on it like vultures and are changing it for high income housing.What a shame.
Peaceful hiking spot!
Very special. Waterfall, beautiful path, plenty of places to explore. Also, you can run from there to the Beacon train station park. With a bit of zig zag you can get a sweet 5k!
Very beautiful and screne... Grand children loves going there... Use to go there back in the late 80s also... Remember the wood little bridge that bought you out to 9D....
Beautiful views and waterfall
Small but awesome park with a waterfall, some wetlands and industrial remains. Its great that this abandoned industrial dumping site is being returned to its former beauty
Beautiful park in the Hudson Valley near Beacon NY. Nice trails for hiking 🚶♀️
Very quiet trail walks. Lot of bugs, but thats too be expected seeing as where you are walking through. Beautiful scenery though with the effort.
Great place to see the Falls!
Beautiful serene peaceful
I love this place. There are multiple trails to wander and they are all beautiful, definitely worth the visit!
Beautiful.
Nice trails that link to Dennings Point and Long Dock Park, great views of the Hudson River year round.
Beautiful dayWalking trails along the mighty Fishkill Creek just before it flows into the Hudson River. Porta san and trailsThats it.
Nice walking location in between ruins and creek.
Quaint little out of the way park with a short walk to a little water fall. The path down to the waters edge near the falls still needs to be cleared of fallen trees.
A place where true Adventure awaits.
Beautiful place to take a walk, go hiking and go fishing! Best of all, its free!
Alright hike. Great views of the river, nice boardwalk.
Great place to enjoy nature. Beautiful stream and waterfall
Scenic walk along the river. You can go to an abandoned building and an eagle watching spot along the way. Great for photo shoots
The walk was SHORT but the falls are beautiful.
Great little park.
Absolutely beautiful waterfall and trails past the marsh and metronorth tracks
Beautiful and well kept park. Lots of benches and gorgeous views. Great information about the history of Beacon as well.
Great hiking area I take my kids here all the time
Great trails / just need signs at ends of trails and junctions e.g. private driveway.... river observer short path etc..

Very quaint trail with not many of visitors, good easy spot to enjoy
Absolutely gorgeous, quiet, and lots of great photo and lookout spots.
We had great time. Kids love the adventures. No restrooms.
Its been a. While since Ive been here,but still. Appreciate the Falls ,and quiet park environment!!
Nice park on the water with a connector trail to other nearby green space.
Views where great but saw three dead deer in the waters that have decayed for sometime.
Great place to explore. Many trails and an old factory is what you will find here.
Very dirty you figure in a liberal town that say they care about the environment they would be less slobs
Falls and view were majestic!
Nice
Nice quiet walk through the woods...leads to nice views of the Hudson river
This is easily one of my favorite parks. I usually come here several times a year.
There is hiking trails that the family can use and you can start here a go all the way to Dennings point and to long dock
Has nice views, a trail and you can fish there
Love the trails n great outdoor this is the place for you
Nice place to walk and if you go down far enough you can see the Hudson line trains
Great park!
Very relaxing place. I love the little waterfall.
Stunning.
This place is haunted by spooky spirits and libidinous fairies. Will definitely be coming back again.
Nice and short, parking area and entrance look a little sketchy
Great public space with beautiful scenery.
A few trails and some really nice water falls and wet lands.

Review №4
2022-06-18Such a cool place to visit. There is a beautiful walking trail with several little spots along the way to go fishing. There are no restrooms, but there is however 1 single portable toilet at the beginning where parking is available.
Review №5
2022-05-29Great low key and laid back spot; plenty of parking if it is a busy day but the little trail off spots never get packed :)
Review №6
2020-10-03Cool hidden easy but challenging short trail with beautiful medium size water waterfall as the prize. Fun for all ages and if you walk the other direction there is a cool bridge that is alongside the old hat factory.

2019-10-21Used the trail for an easy hike with some friends. It was perfect for all the people in our group. We liked the easy access to the beach along the Hudson. The changing leaves were a nice backdrop - even on an overcast (and slightly rainy day).From the parking lot, face the creek and walk to the left for access to the waterfall.

2018-12-19This is a beautiful little local park that has a lot to offer. Theres waterfalls, walking trails, fishing access, boardwalks, crumbling ruins of old factories, trains...the list could go on and on. If you want you can access Dennings Point, Long Dock and Riverfront Park via connector trails.

2022-04-17From the parking lot, a short walk to the left leads to a surprise - beautiful and wide Tioronda Falls.Walk to the right and you will cross a bridge overlooking the rushing Fishkill Creek - good place to drop a fishing line.There are serene creek and marsh views as you continue.Keep going and you eventually go up a walkway around the railroad tracks.This connects to more trails, including Dennings Point and the Klara Sauer Trail to Long Dock and Beacon Train Station.Leashed dogs and bikes OK.
