A great small hike. A little terrain and great views. Took the Perimeter trail to see all the water and Islands. Went on a rainy day.

A gorgeous park in between some beautiful little cities. It’s a hidden gem full of wildlife, water features and stunning views of waterfalls. A stunning place, full of history.

Not in the park, I don't think, but there's a nice trail that gors south from the park along the Hudson. It goes past an historic mansion, over a small bridge and into a park in Watervliet. I'm not sure if it hooks up to the Corning trail further on.
