Tips from the community

I really love this trail! The beginning is pretty steep but it gets a little more relaxed at the top of the ridge. There is a longer 5.5 mile Bull Hill full loop that you can do or you can take the short loop that is only about 4 miles. Either way there are great views and places to stop for lunch. There is a small stream a little past the descent that my dog loves to splash in and the end of the trail features the old Cornish Estate mansion that was destroyed by a fire in the 1950's. The bones of the mansion still stand and you can explore that and some of the outlying "buildings" that were once there.

  • 8 Great Hikes in the Hudson Valley

    One of the easiest ways to get out and enjoy nature is with a great hike! This list consists of some of my favorite trails in the lower Hudson Valley. From Anthony's Nose and Camp Smith to the Lemon Squeezer, there's something on this list for all levels. Plus, all of these hikes are within two hours from New York City. Don't have a car? No worries, some of these can even be accessed using Metro North!
