Walkway Over the Hudson State Park
Walkway Over the Hudson is the world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge, stretching 1.28 miles across the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland, NY.
Once a 19th-century railroad bridge, it’s now a stunning linear park offering sweeping views of the Hudson Valley’s rolling hills, riverfront towns, and seasonal foliage. Open to walkers, cyclists, and leashed dogs, the walkway is ideal for a sunrise stroll, a weekend bike ride, or simply pausing mid-span to take in the view. With easy access points, visitor centers, and nearby trails, it’s a must-see for anyone exploring the region, accessible, peaceful, and awe-inspiring in every season.
