Falling Waters Preserve - Saugerties (NY)

5 /5 Carol Ann Jason: Falling Waters Preserve is a great area to hike and take in the beauty of the Hudson River. There are three main trails of different lengths and the trails are well marked. The small parking lot holds about 10 cars.

5 /5 Janet Bunnell: Very pretty hike for me and Buddy. The falls and the river views were beautiful. There’s cool wooden handmade benches to relax on. The trails were well marked. There were some rocky/slightly steep parts, but that makes things more interesting. Everyone i saw there (6 people) each had their dog with them . Good hike for humans and dogs alike!

4 /5 Yeening Chang: Leisurely walk that takes less than an hour total. Fairly flat with rewarding views. The red and white trail form a loop, whereas the blue trail ventures down to river in a smaller loop that’s great for smaller children. Both loops offer water views and benches viewing small waterfalls.

5 /5 Mike Hollywood: It can get pretty busy, luckily the parink area is small. Great hike, love the river and stream on the trails. Saw ducks in the stream for the first time!

5 /5 Mark Turok: Beautiful Hudson River walk. Some rocks and roots on the white trail adjacent to the river but not to challenging. Suggest you stay to your left so you dont fall down the bank. Had some muddy spots due to recent rain. Lovely walk. Suggest you do the white and red trail loop... Total about 2+ miles. Take white trail first (river to your right). We stopped for photos, water breaks and ate our sandwiches on rustic bench along way and it was a total of about 90 minutes. Dogs on leashes allowed. Saw families with kids. Near the river cliff/banks- I WOULD ALWAYS HOLD THE CHILDS HAND but definitely doable with children. Quiet and serene short hike. Worth doing for a short day hike.
