My spouse and I visited the Hudson River Valley for the third time in late September 2015. We enjoy this part of the state of New York because it is only a 2+ hour drive from our home, which we sometimes make on less-traveled back roads to enjoy the scenery and weather. This time, we stayed for two nights (Friday and Saturday) in Fishkill so that we could visit nearby Beacon, including Bannerman Island. Beacon is a cute small town, with a main street that houses shops and restaurants. The main street has two distinct parts; however, and it would be a bit of a walk from one end to the other. On the river side of Main Street is a train station and a small dock area. On this visit, we also visited Rhinebeck and the Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie. And still so much remains to see and do in the Hudson River Valley that we will surely return!
