City of Beacon
Beacon, New York — tucked beside the Hudson River and rising up into the Hudson Highlands — is a place that mixes art, nature, small‑town charm, and serious views. If you’re weighing whether to visit, here’s what makes Beacon + Mount Beacon special and worth a visit. City of Beacon: Art, culture, small town feel - nestled in the heart of the Hudson River Valley, enjoy Long Dock Park nearby, or stroll the streets for plenty of coffee, restaurants, shops, and activities daily! Mt. Beacon: 2.5 miles out and back, or 7-8 miles to fire-tower if you're feeling really adventurous! (On clear sky days - NYC skyline can be seen from the top of the fire-tower!) Breakneck Ridge: Up for a challenge? Breakneck Ridge is a 3.8 mile round trip hike featuring steep and rugged terrain -it’s exposed in places, with cliffs, ledges, and sometimes narrow pathways. Despite the difficulty, you'll find yourself rewarded at its peak with sweeping views of the Hudson River and Hudson Highlands.
