The Black Creek Preserve
is a Scenic Hudson park complete with a suspension bridge and beautiful Hudson River views.Easy to get to, it’s right off of Rt. 9W in Esopus, Be prepared to walk up a pretty good hill immediately after crossing the bridge.
You will be rewarded eventually by following the trails, to a great view from the shore of the Hudson.
