The Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is a future linear park, spanning 7.5 walkable, bikeable, rollable miles between New York’s Village of Cold Spring and City of Beacon.
The Fjord Trail will make the beauty of the Hudson Highlands more accessible to people of all ages and abilities and create a safe connection to the river and area trailheads. Providing much-needed amenities like restrooms, wayfinding signage, parking, and refuse receptacles, the Fjord Trail will help manage current and future visitation to the region.

Looking for more info about the DGEIS and Environmental Review Process?
The Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is a proposed linear park, planned to span 7.5 walkable, bikeable miles between New York’s Village of Cold Spring and the City of Beacon, built with accessibility and inclusivity in mind. New York's State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) requires that before a project like the Fjord Trail can begin permitting or construction, it must be evaluated for impacts through a thorough environmental review process. The Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) and Public Comment Period are part of this process.
