Trails at Rhinebeck Rec Park

Nice walk along the fields

Overcast much of the day

This marshy area will be much more alive very soon

The view towards Port Ewen


After finally completing my taxes, I took a stroll on some trails near the Rhinebeck Rec Park.  There were more to these trails than I thought.  I passed by the entrance to these trails countless times and decided it couldn't be all that interesting.

The trail first passes a frisbee golf course.  It then walks by some farm land.  Views across the river to some of the hills near Port Ewen can be seen.  It then makes it's way past some wetlands.  It being early spring, the swampy area came to life.  The out and back walk came to about 2 miles.  The sound of birds and the other critters let you know that Spring has arrived.

  1. I thought this was a lovely place to stroll. We should play disc golf there some day.
