Nice view of the Hudson River from the pier and path along the coastline
Great local park right on the Hudson River, a true gem. The whole park is beautiful designed and landscaped. Theres a fair amount of parking and you could park at the train station too if needed. You can access Riverfront Park, Dennings Point, and Madam Brett Park with connector trails. All the pathways and trails are wide, flat, and well maintained.
Very pretty view of the hudson. RIght now under construction. Some people were not respectful of social distancing. Places to bring a picnic suggest bringing a blanket. People vandalized the construction items. No one insuring the safety of park goers. Since it normally isnt like this, I have it 4 stars. Plenty of seating and grassy areas. Hiking. Ferry $3. Boating must be on hold.
Nice little park like area. Go stretch your legs while viewing the waters edge of the Hudson River. Fishing off the pier. Looks like dogs allowed on leash. Easy parking. Free admission.
By far my favorite park in this area. Theres a playground and some nice walking trails that lead to a small waterfall. The path is paved so many people like to bike it.
Beautiful park on the banks of the Hudson River. Kayak launch and walking trails. Great views of the river & surrounding mountains.
A beautiful park that has some great airplane spotting views. If you come at the right times you can see planes landing at Stewart International Airport across the river! The one pictured here is a Boeing 747.
Beautiful place for day long picnic, fishing, kayaking and hiking. One of my favorite place to visit.
Love walking the trails and just a relaxing and beautiful scenery.
A favorite of mine! I love the views, the breeze off the water and the serenity! Love to picnic, walk and explore here! Its also great to just sit and soak it all in! I even love it in winter!
This trail is easy and is just on the banks. Not too many people usually and the scenery is not bad. The road is paved so it is good for many people. Free parking and free admission.
Beautiful trails for biking and walking that are right along the river, beautiful views of the river and surrounding mountains. Most of the paths are pretty wide and accommodating. Also a large green area perfect for a picnic near the parking area. Parking can be limited
Beautiful spot by the river with free car parking.Take a walk to Dennings point for a 3.5mile loop from the car park.Electric vehicle charging available.
Nice place for the scenery and quiet time. Great place for a picnic date. There are some tables in the shade.
Absolutely beautiful. Come here for sunset, bring your camera, you wont regret it. 🖤
Beautiful Place To Walk, Think, Eat (Bring Your Own), and to just view the serene surroundings.
Fishing is great, lots of space on the dock for 6-7+ poles. Benches and places to sit everywhere. Absolutely beautiful. I go at least 3 times month during fishing season.
Beautiful place! Some parts under construction though but still good!
Beautiful park on the river which routinely treats you too spectacular sunsets.
Great place to watch sunset, hangout with friends and family.
Really relaxed park with nice trails and scenery of the underrated Hudson valley
Great place to stop by to take a stroll. If youre into scenery flicks, I recommend catching the sunset here.
Great park on the Hudson with access to kayaking. Or just a place to sit for a picnic and wet your toes in the Hudson
Spacious, scenic, and clean park right on the Hudson River. Picnic tables, walking trails, kayaking, and benches available to enjoy the beautiful views. Parking available but on weekends it can be limited. Leashed dogs are also welcome.
Very scenic, great walking paths and not crowded..., and OMG the fjords!
It’s a great place for enjoy with family and friends.A huge natural beauty make your feelings to another label.
Great views of our river(makes for great pics) and a place to recharge because of the beautiful scenery.
Worth waiting 30 minutes!The staffs were friendly and really make sure that you’re enjoying your meal.Our server - Ivania, was on point with telling us the specials on top of her head. She was nice and always came to check up on us. There was another guy, don’t know his name - only way to describe him was he was bald (sorry man) but he knows his taco game, he told us which taco was when it came out (we ordered 10 tacos).The tacos and the empanadas were so delicious, no wonder why it’s packed and people wait. Can’t wait to come here again.
Beacon residents made a wise choice to preserve the Scenic Hudson landscape, now a local park. Resting along the Hudson coast, you will enjoy trailing along steady waves, geese, and friendly visitors to this preserved parcel of nature. Come and marvel at the view of Hudson Bridge--but please clean up after yourself!
This place never disappoints. The trails are always clean and you can always find a new hidden nook each time you go.
Beautiful place to hangout with friends and family! Well maintained.
Beautiful! Anywhere on the Hudson is beautiful. This park is user friendly!Housing for kayaks and canoes. Little tables and chairs everywhere. The ferry. Plenty of places to stretch out or run with a kite. Love!
Quiet, peaceful. Nice place for a picnic or evening stroll by the water.
Beautiful trail along the water. Perfect for families and pets!
We really enjoyed coming to sit by the Hudson and watch some boats go by. Some guys were fishing and we got to chat a bit--one of them caught a catfish while we were there. Quiet and peaceful, like a dock/park should be.
Its a nice park with lovely views of the Hudson. And even a nice shaded area for snacks. BUT, I have been there twice and both times the garbage canister near the shaded section was never emptied! Garbage was overflowing and all over an adjacent parking space---which so happened to be a handicap space. My wife is handicapped. So, Im just calling it the way it is. Whats even stranger, the locals that live in the area, seem used to it. Never gave it a second glance.😣
We love this park, sitting by the water is LIFE!
Nice park along the Hudson. Not much to do since its basically just a bunch of docks but there are some benches to relax and look out at the water.
Great park to picnic and hang out with friends
Best place for sunset viewing
Gorgeous place with very nice skyline
Nice area with benches and hiking trails along the old railroad track, with views of the Hudson river on one side and small creek on the other.There is kayak rental here as well.Free parking.
This is a nice little park. It has a connector trail to a nice waterfall on the fish creek. It is also right at the metro north train station for city folks looking for some new river views. Best of all it is a 5 minute walk to Two Way Brewing .. which is top notch.
Nice place to Spend some time with family. The local people was really friendly.
Great environment. Clean. Got a great run in the morning.
Beautiful family environment . Hret Hudson river shoreline pictures at sunset ! Just spectacular! Definitely recommend it!
It was a wonderful trail to walk, clean from trash. People were riding their bikes, fishing, and children running around playing in the grassy are. Its a wonderful area to relax by the river
One of the best things in Beacon . Extremely relaxing , Get a sandwich and watch the sunset
Absolutely stunning.
Great walking trails. Good for kayaking, dog walks.
Beautiful waterfront paths, cute picnic tables and kayaks for rent!
Nice spot for a stroll
Beautiful park with impressive sunset views over the Hudson. I wish there were more walking spaces.
A nice place to relax at and view the Hudson river. Wasnt too crowded and people were overall respecting physical distancing while having fun. Great photo op too.
Great place. We moved nearby in December and frequently walk our dog here and down the tracks to Dia Beacon and up the Fishkill RiverAs it has warmed up, you can see more people starting to come out and picnic and use the spaceFeels clean and safe at all hours
Splendid view of icy Hudson River! Cannot believe it‘s in New York! A true jewel !
My girlfriend and I love to picnic at this park!
Took trip to Bannerman island with 2 other couples. Tour by Sheldon who was great! Packed lunch and ate at the park. 2 portapotties.....somewhat clean. Beautiful views of the Hudson.
A great place for chilling
This is my favorite Hudson Valley riverfront park. Nice views, great spaces to walk and sit. The addition of the new parking area and pavilions are really nice. Scenic Hudson really did a lovely job with this park. I highly recommend a visit, and even bring the doggy.
A favorite place to walk my dog along the Hudson River. Friendly folks in lawn chairs gazing at the river traffic and picnicking, kayaking, and strolling.
Very nice, not too busy
A beautiful comfortable, easy trail that allows you to walk along the Hudson River in Beacon, NY. Lots of people walking their dogs so if your dog doesnt play well with others, consider leaving pooch at home.
Relaxing spaces to eat a meal (picnic benches) and enjoy beautiful views of the Hudson. Parking spaces are plentiful.
Nice little walk for the kids. I loved it.
Very nice scenery and view of the Hudson. Nice area to fish, picnic or to kayak. There is access to beach that stretches quite some distance but it was cluttered with debris and needed cleaning up. It also has nice flat trails to walk along.
There is a few nice trails to bike and walk in nature
Can there be an any more perfect park in the Hudson Valley? Long Dock Park and its surroundings continue to impress me, even after years of living here and photographing the mess out of it. Its gorgeous, serene, and both relaxing and invigorating. A must-see spot when in Beacon or in the Hudson Valley! 👍🏼
Great place for a walk, picnic or just relax next to the water
Beautiful place to relax, walk around, and you can even bring your dogs with you!
It was a very nice and very clean place
Im here as often as I can, usually a few times a week. I love to teach yoga by the water. I take long walks, the trail connects to Madam Brett park. The drum circle Thursday nights is fantastic as are the sunsets
Nice park. Very quick, easy access to the river front and boat launch. Kids had fun searching for tiny clam shells and making rafts out of drift wood. We see people fishing here, dogs taking a swim, and small boats and paddle boards. Beautiful view of Newburgh and a short stretch of the Hudson. Down side for the beach part... skeletons. We found a lot of bones of animals, including a batwing that still had the skin between the bones. That was a little ick, but also part of nature, so what cant be too bothered by that. The biggest problem, as it always is, is people leaving trash and glass bottles broken on the shore. If you want to walk in the water I suggest water shoes so you dont cut your feet. Parking here has been pretty good. There is a trail that connects with a few others in the area so you can spend a good chunk of the day exploring different aspects of the park. Well worth a visit.
This is a beautiful place, well maintained, and perfect for family time or quiet time by yourself.
Beautiful place, beautiful views!
I love coming here for the views, easy 4 mile walk and of course the bald eagles
This spot never ever gets old for me after 5 years in Beacon. The immediate and intimate connection to the vastness of the Hudson River in any season always seems to wake up my mind and my senses. The view of Newburgh is so close you feel is that you could reach out and touch it. There are people kayaking reading playing with children and yet there is space for everybody. It is a true gift that Beacon has these spaces available to the public every time I visit Im filled with gratitude.
Its a beautiful park site recently designed to be flood resilient. There are facilities such has kayaking, fishing pier, picnic areas, restrooms etc. The pavilion is designed to be food resilient and can hold education events, concerts. Public meeting etc. There is soft shoreline and hard shoreline designed to fight shoreline erosion due to sea level rise.
Beautiful park and interesting historical exhibits. Views of Hudson River cant be beat.
But I didn’t expect the remove the rail from the fishing dock. It’s even risky for adults also. Except that it’s a fantastic place….
Long dock park is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Theyve recently made a lot of improvements to the park as well. So you can see more of the river and experience more of the shore line along the river. Lots of rich history here as well
This is such a well kept park. The views are beautiful. When you see the scenes, you can truly understand why the Hudson was the subject of so much art!
Spent the weekend in Beacon and wanted to get out on to the Hudson River. Found out they rented kayaks at the long dock. We rented a 2 person kayak. Just before heading out the guide told us which way the current was running! Very important!!! He recommended that we paddle up the current, that way the paddle back wont be bad. Really enjoyed being out on the water and would definitely come back the next time were in town.On the other end of the parking lot (away from the water), there is a bike rental with what looked to be some decent bikes. Probably try that the next time were in Beacon.
It was a beautiful walk, I hope to do it many times!
Nice little quiet park on the banks of the Hudson River. Right next to the Metro Station. Contains a nice childrens playground. There are a few picnic tables so if youre planning to have a group event you need to arrive early.
Very fun area for some social distancing fun. Bring your own kayak, or fishing poles, or blanket to just chill. Its a great time in a quite place!
Great place to be if you have free time to take a stroll. During the warmer season you are able to rent a canoe. You could also rent a bike as well, but not sure if they are open during the fall.
The park is nice for many things! It leads out to several hiking/biking trails. It is next to the Metro. Fido will lots of fun running/walking around. And it is very peaceful out there.
Long Dock Park is one of my favorite places. You can take a lovely stroll by the river, sit and enjoy the views and the wonderful breeze thats usually present, and maybe even rent a kayak and explore the area on the Hudson River. Highly recommend to visit if youre looking for a beautiful place to go. You can even picnic here and take in the fireworks for the 4th of July.
Good place to walk my two dogs and nice views towards Newburgh and the hills behind Beacon and the sorounding side.
Love to watch the sunset here mostly in the summer time. I walk the tairls and down by the water it is so beautiful to get a great view of the Hudson.
Beautiful sunset
It was cold that day but a nice day to be there
Very nice park!!!
In a time of Covid quarantine, spending a Memorial Day weekend afternoon on Long Dock Park was a breath of relief. Although many people were out, social distancing was being observed for the most part. Its an oasis to enjoy even in these dark days.
Place is nice ....awesome view of the Hudson River...as well as across to Newburgh....
Launch a cartoppable boat, fish from the bulkhead, wander the river shoreline, stroll the pathways, enjoy the views of the Hudson, sit, relax, enjoy. What a wonderful place!
Breathtaking view! Extremely peaceful and not many people around. For you romantic types, perfect spot to have a picnic.
Amazing small park 😍 with trail going south. I think there it connects with another park 🤔 Im not sure. Definitely have to check it out in the summer 😁
Great place to walk or jog. I love taking my dog there. From long dock you can also enjoy Dennings point or Madame Brett for a longer jog!
Really nice place well taken care of and maintained. Obviously, very scenic views. Only drawback is that you have to go across the river for a bite if you want to be seated by the river at Newburgh
A beautiful day to at the water front to either walk around or just to sit and watch the people w/dogs enjoying the sun and drakes.
Fantastic place...I just love this place. Only I deduct 2 stars due to the Restrooms facilities. Its worst. They should improve this.
Loved the trails. We were pleasantly surprised how we didnt run into too many people along the trails and how we had some amazing views along the way. We are excited to come back and go further with the trails!
Beacon is a terrible place. I wouldnt go there. The liberals are very aggressive and very rude.
Beautiful area. Needs restrooms.
Good place to sit down and grab a bite and enjoy the outdoors.Bring your own food and sit at one of the many tables and chairs.Remember to take out what you take in.
Beautiful views. Free parking, great place to walk. It is located along the Hudson River. No hills, so great for adults or small children.
Nice park grounds for a picnic or sunset walk or whatever. The swings support adult weight, so thats fun. Minus one star for the geese poop.
Not nice at all. Lots pf houses and buildings... almost like astoria park... actually worse. At least Manhattan view is a nice view
Very beautiful area. Nice place to relax and get some piece. You can watch the boats coming in out and going out along with the ferry.
Very nice
Amazing viewsGreat date ideas with foodPeaceful & calm
Excellent views, excellent walks for family, dogs and or just taking a stroll. The stony beach area is a nice place to sit quietly.
Great place to watch the sunset. Also got to see migratory birds.
I walk the trails on lunch and they keep the lands stunning!
Beautiful park, great area to picnic (ample tables, socially distant from each other)
Beautiful, peaceful and near lots of restaurants and clothing stores
Beautiful place, very calm, nice and clean. Not easy to find a car park though
Beautiful park to explore. There is a lot to do: kayak launch, hike, beach comb, tree climb, and stroll and enjoy the views.
Love this spot! Plenty of seating and lounging areas.
Beautiful park along the Hudson River. Nice place for a scenic photo shoot!
Great for people and dogs. Lots of birds and bunnies too. Very peaceful but an occasional Metro North that whisks by.
Nice river views
Good place to walk , jog , canoe or walk dog pick up after , beer festival 👍and next to train station and great view of the Hudson River .
I love it here on the Hudson River. Wonderful place to walk or relax or picnic
Im recently retired and was disappointed to go to Long Dock on a weekday only to find I couldnt park. I have to wonder if Metro North patrons are taking advantage of this beautiful parks close proximity to the Beacon station.
Great walking area near train station and downtown
Great place to walk if not too crowded
Nice walking trails, not too busy
Really nice walking path along the river. It extends in a loop through a wooded area. Flat and easy to walk with nice scenery.
Great place to sit, picnic, run, walk, hike, fish or bike. Parking is free. Very well maintained.
A beautiful place to catch the sunset. Nice trails for walking or running and great views of the river, Newburgh and the NB Bridge.

Beautiful walk along the Hudson River. Scenic Hudson does an awesome job!
Plenty of parking and a great place for sunsets with trails all around park is on the hudson with hudson views.
Could be a lit nice with a little work. It never really feels super comfortable to be here, but has potential, much like mossy of the beacon waterfront area.
Nice clean quiet
Loved it, very relaxing
Good place to walk, work out, fishing on riverside in Hudson.. Serene surroundins
Nice park for people old enough to not fall off the unfenced edge into the Hudson.
Very nice small park by the river. Great to watch the sunset...👍
Beautiful spot along Hudson River, worth the stop and short walk out to the banks for the view up and down.
Trust me, youll hate it here. Dont bother with it. Stay away. Seriously, its crowded, loud and not at all pleasurable here. Not worth coming to Beacon for. Stay in NYC. Thanks.
Its not THAT long, but it sure is a nice park!
Beautiful views, lots of trails to wslk
Beautiful spot along the Hudson. Great views, great walking trails.
I always come here near the water to clear my mind. It is a beautiful view.
Quite and peacefull. Everyone is polite and very nice. Great place to fish and catch blue crabs.
What a beautiful place for hiking and kayaking just outside of Manhattan. The stores and restaurants in Beacon are also pretty good.
Dog friendly..love it so peaceful
Beautiful park on the river kayak rentals and a nice place to sit and see the water or have lunch

A must do! We kayaked to Bannermans Island, only thing we didnt do right was plan better. Make sure to leave enough time!
So beautiful and relaxing. My favorite place to go on a nice day.
This place during winter does not get cleaned up of snow. Best time will be in spring time and summer

Review №1
2022-06-30This is a pleasing little park to take a walk in or to admire the river or the wildflowers. There is a dock that goes out to the Hudson and you can fish there or simply sit and admire the river. When I was there there was a man with several poles out in the water who didnt speak much English, but he managed to tell me he was fishing for carp. You can stay on the paths or you can leave the unpaved paths and get right down next to the river. There are no concessions; kayak rental starts in July, I think, but was closed the day I was there. There are no water fountains. The only bathroom facilities are porta potties.

2022-01-22Nice place to spend the eveningSome great views of the Hudson river in the evening. Would definitely recommend when the skies are generally clear.Theres some watersports facilities nearby so it looks like you can rent kayaks on calmer days. Winds around here can get fairly strong, so definitely wear a windbreaker on autumn and winter days.

2021-08-25Nice spot to see the river and some wildlife. We saw ducks, seagulls, butterflies and grasshoppers. We heard frogs but didn’t get close enough to see them. There are some seating areas and some nice little walking paths.

2022-06-23What a wonderful place! People are here doing yoga at dawn, walking their dog (on a leash), playing with their children, hiking, paddling and thoroughly enjoying this delightful park.

2022-04-24Beautiful dock. Perfect spot for a picnic with plenty of seats and shaded/covered areas. Don’t forget to visit Dia Beacon that’s just 3min drive from here.
