the esopus meadows lighthouse

we make it a day and go to esopus/port ewen and take a walk/hike at lighthouse. the view of the Hudson is amazing and the hiking is perfect. Just enough ups and down to feel like you got a good work out. the dog loves it too. then you can bring a picnic lunch and sit by the river and watch the boat and just the pure beauty of it all

Another great piece of Hudson River History. They have done an amazing job restoring this lighthouse. The fishing near it is great too.

The Esopus meadows lighthouse is a beautifully restored lighthouse. Visible from land or boat. There are two parks on the Esopus side that offeres to different areas, one a picnic area and the second is hiking trail along the river both offering beautiful areas of enjoying the view of the river and the light house and to have a picnic.

i've had a boat on the Hudson for 30 years. the esopus lighthouse at sunset is beautiful. but you only see the view on a boat.
