Hudson Bridge Walking Elevator - Poughkeepsie (NY)

4 /5 Liliana Judge: We used the Hudson Bridge Walking Elevator on Saturday around 10 am to go down, and there was an attendant inside managing it. However, when we tried to return up at 10:30 am, the elevator wasn’t working. We waited for 30 minutes and tried everything - called the posted phone number (mailbox was full), waved my hat to get the attention of staff, all to no avail. Fortunately, a maintenance person came by and was able to fix the elevator for one ride only, which allowed us to get back up. They continued working on repairs for the rest of the day. The staff was helpful once they arrived, but it would be extremely beneficial to have an electronic sign that updates visitors on the elevator’s status (open, closed, or under maintenance). Overall, the elevator is a convenient service when operational, and the maintenance team was responsive once on site.

5 /5 Debra Bender: So easy! Park at Waryas park, west of the train station by the river, then its a short walk to the elevator. The walking bridge is extremely sturdy and wide enough for bikes & pedestrians going both ways all at once. Its a gorgeous view!

4 /5 Mikeyy Lunarezz: This is a must after exploring the bridge by walking or biking across. This provides a unique view not only of the bridge but of the hudson river. Theres no fee use or reservation to be made. Youll find someone who will be controlling it, so youll never ride alone.

5 /5 Kevin Morris: If you visit the Walkway Over the Hudson I highly recommend taking the elevator down to Upper Landing Park to get great views of the bridge. Check the elevator hours as it opens after and closes before the walkway does.

5 /5 Kun F.: You can walk across the bridge over Hudson Bridge. Great views and unique experience. operator is very nice.
