This is another gem of a park of Scenic Hudson. Located less than 20 minutes away, this would be my first visit. It's amazing what is found in my own backyard.
Esopus Meadows is located just south of Port Ewen. The drive along River Road provides outstanding views of the Hudson. I envy those that have houses on the road. They get these views on a daily basis.
The parking lot sits along the river. One doesn't even have to leave their vehicle to enjoy the views. But as most places, it's always better to get out. The walk provided some wonderful views across the river to Mills Mansion, the Esopus Lighthouse and some great views of the Catskills. Spring also seems to have arrived. Some early spring colors were to be had. Trees were already budding and the cool breeze off the river made you glad to be outside.
Nice pics. Never heard of this place but it looks like a great spot. Guess that snake had to go back into hibernation the following week.
