About Esopus
Once a haven for the well-to-do, this town alongside the Hudson River has plenty of outdoor pursuits — including one of the scariest in the country.
About High Banks Preserve
Scenic Hudson High Banks Preserve contains bluffs offering superb vistas of the Hudson River as well as extensive wetlands, wildflower-filled meadows, hardwood forests and shoreline along Esopus Lake. The accessible gateway provides visitors to an overlook of the Hudson River. A steep trail climbs 200 feet to the upper parkland with features that include additional Hudson River views, former carriage roads that lead to the lake, and a 110-foot boardwalk spanning a wetland.

Posh hotels, retro-inspired inns, tricked-out cabins and cozy B&Bs are just some of the lodging options.
