Hudson River Recreation Area

Awesome place for a short walk (Or cross country skiing in the Winter!) The rocks and quartz down by the water are absolutely beautiful. Pretty wildflowers around, too!

Easy walk to the river with awesome natural rocks. Bring your fishing pole!

Great spot- winter, spring, summer, or fall. Seasons give a new face to this stunning landscape and exciting, natural adventuring space. Bring the fam and all the dogs for a fun run and a swim in the Majestic Hudson River.

The Hudson River Recreation Area (also called Hudson River Special Management Area by NYS DEC and Warren County Cross Country Ski Trails by Warren County, NY) is a system of hiking and crosscountry ski trails located north of Warrensburg Village, adjacent to Cronin's Golf Course, and within the Lake George Wild Forest. This is not the same as the "Buttermilk" area south of Warrensburg that has a similar name. There is no fee for this area. There are about two miles of trails, mostly flat but with some easy hills. In the winter, skiers may ski on the golf course that borders the recreation area. The Hudson River is less than a quarter mile from the parking lot and may be level enough for those who are wheelchair-bound, but use your own judgment. This area is within the Hudson River Ice Meadows, so in winter there are great views of the frazil ice that form on the river bank - layers of huge plates of brilliant white ice that form along the shore. In the summer, the river bank has some relatively flat rocks near the water's edge for swimming, sunbathing and picnicking. Snowmobiles, ATVs and other motor vehicles aren't allowed. Dogs are permitted on leashes. In winter, this is a good place to crosscountry ski, but the trails aren't groomed. Also, these are multi-use trails, so you may be skiing in the postholes of hikers. To get there: from the 5-way intersection in the center of Warrensburg Village, go north on Hudson Street. This changes to Golf Course Rd when it leaves the village. At 2.5 miles from the village, look on the left for a parking lot and a sign that says Hudson River Recreation Area. Or set your GPS unit to 538 Golf Course Rd, Warrensburg, NY or (43.5159, -73.8113).

Great spot year round to walk the dog and the white quartz onthe river bank is one of a kind.

Beautiful location right on the #Hudson River. Great for those hot summer days to cool off.

Beautiful views and the easy trails were definitely within my limits as someone with disabilities.

A favorite spot along the river plus some nice trails to explore

Fun place to take a walk and explore the many trails
