The park contains Breakneck Ridge, one of the most challenging and popular hiking trails in the region, known for its steep climbs and stunning views of the Hudson River.
The Hudson Highlands were strategically important, and the area was fortified by the Continental Army to prevent British forces from advancing up the Hudson River.
The park is part of the Hudson River Estuary, providing a habitat for a diverse range of bird species, including bald eagles and peregrine falcons.
Spanning over 8,000 acres, Hudson Highlands State Park offers a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking and fishing to kayaking and picnicking.
Hudson Highlands State Park is included in the Hudson River Greenway, a collaborative initiative to protect the natural and cultural resources of the Hudson River Valley.
The park is home to a diverse array of plant life, including rare species like the prickly pear cactus, which thrives on the rocky outcrops.
