Poets' Walk: These rolling fields and quiet woodlands in Red Hook, Dutchess County, have inspired generations of writers and artists.

History:
This 120-acre park is nestled in the region's famous National Historic Landmark District and offers breathtaking views of the Hudson River, Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge and Catskill Mountains. A visit to this property by Washington Irving is said to have inspired his classic story "Rip Van Winkle."

The park itself is buffered on all sides by 780-acres of private lands under Scenic Hudson conservation easements that insure the landscape's protection from development.

Features:
Two miles of trails through woods and open fields. Magnificent setting for landscape artists. Rustic cedar pavilions.
