Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park
Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park, Elevated pedestrian park in Dutchess County, United States.
The Walkway Over the Hudson extends for 1.28 miles across the Hudson River, connecting Poughkeepsie with Highland at a height of 212 feet.
Originally constructed in 1889 as a railroad bridge, the structure ceased operations after a fire in 1974 and reopened as a pedestrian park in 2009.
The park offers interpretive displays and multilingual audio tours that detail the industrial heritage and natural environment of the Hudson River Valley region.
The park maintains seasonal operating hours from sunrise to sunset, with entrances at Washington Street stairs in Poughkeepsie and Upper Landing Park via elevator.
The structure holds the distinction of being the longest elevated pedestrian bridge worldwide and forms part of the 750-mile Empire State Trail network.
