Peebles Island State Park is at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers. It offers spectacular river and rapids views for walkers and joggers who take advantage of the miles of paths through the gently rolling and wooded landscape. Picnickers and fishermen come to relax and winter visitors use the facilities to cross-country ski, hike and snowshoe. Peebles Island is also the headquarters of the Bureau of Historic Sites and Bureau of Historic Preservation Field Services. The staff provide technical services, such as record maintenance, analysis of artifacts, and preparation of publications, exhibits and audio visual programs for the 35 historic sites maintained by State Parks. The Field Services Bureau assists all New York's municipalities and citizens with National Register of Historic Place listings, investment tax credit and review of all state and federal projects.
Really great place. Well maintained.
I have visited this gem about 5 times and always enjoy the experience. Very easy hike with pleasant scenery along the way. we spotted a bald eagle on our last trip. Very neat!
So gorgeous and very easy. Lots of different wildlife to get a glimpse of. We saw deer, birds, turtles, an eagle, chipmunks and MORE deer. Very peaceful and relaxing, sunny day walk in nature. Easy trails.
this is a nice easy trail that is well marked. Great walk in the woods for all family members
It's a nice park with unique views of the Hudson and Mohawk River. I was able to enter for free, but I guess it's $6 a car. I know it's state park rates but a bit steep for what is offered at Peebles.
Super easy hike with absolutely no difficulty at all. My 8 year old boys had fun but were not challenged.
Great views and awesome trails. Brought my dog with me and she enjoyed it as well as my parents and sister and her dog. A lot of people were here today but the trails weren't crowded and were easy to pass on.
Peebles Island State Park , pleasant walkable loop trail with changing scenic views and wildlife..Bring a snack and stay for the sunset...nearby , visit the Waterford Grand Erie Canal for an interesting walk along the canal with a bit of history on the area as well...
