Reviews of Shaupeneak Ridge Park
"Beautiful uphill walk through the winterscape with running streams, waterfalls, and great views over the Hudson!"
"Very nice park - be careful about your travel plans in the winter, though. The north side entrance is a seasonal road and is not drivable with any kind of snow on the ground. You'll have to head back out and loop all the way around to the southern entrance, which is maintained all year."
"Beautiful spot for a hike. Trails are not that long. I did blue,orange,white and purple (lower lot) There were lots of roots and rocks, walking stick helpful, (found mine along the way). Moderate hike. Orange trail goes through grasses and ferns. Not much bigger than game trail in spots. If not a fan of overgrowth avoid this trail. It is Very jurassic Park feeling. Quiet, Untouched, Nature in it Natural habitat."
"Nice hiking area with several short trails you can string together. One area features a beautiful overlook of the Hudson river. This preserve is managed by Scenic Hudson and there is no fee. Make sure you keep your dog on a leash and check for ticks frequently."
"It’s a very nice trail for what it offers. We hiked the red, green, orange and blue trails. There were no long ascents or descents. I would rate it at moderate difficulty. Most people who can walk a couple miles should be able to do it. The red loop is very easy and brings you to a nice overlook. Almost all of it was tree covered so it should be relatively cooler in the summer. There was a lot of deadfall from the storms but all the trails we were on have been cleared. Any wet areas have small boardwalks. The pond is very pretty and looks great for paddling which I’ll try next time."
