By far my favorite park in this area. Theres a playground and some nice walking trails that lead to a small waterfall. The path is paved so many people like to bike it.

Beautiful park on the banks of the Hudson River. Kayak launch and walking trails. Great views of the river & surrounding mountains.

Very pretty view of the hudson. RIght now under construction. Some people were not respectful of social distancing. Places to bring a picnic suggest bringing a blanket. People vandalized the construction items. No one insuring the safety of park goers. Since it normally isnt like this, I have it 4 stars. Plenty of seating and grassy areas. Hiking. Ferry $3. Boating must be on hold.

This is such a well kept park. The views are beautiful. When you see the scenes, you can truly understand why the Hudson was the subject of so much art!

Can there be an any more perfect park in the Hudson Valley? Long Dock Park and its surroundings continue to impress me, even after years of living here and photographing the mess out of it. Its gorgeous, serene, and both relaxing and invigorating. A must-see spot when in Beacon or in the Hudson Valley!

Im here as often as I can, usually a few times a week. I love to teach yoga by the water. I take long walks, the trail connects to Madam Brett park. The drum circle Thursday nights is fantastic as are the sunsets

Great local park right on the Hudson River, a true gem. The whole park is beautiful designed and landscaped. Theres a fair amount of parking and you could park at the train station too if needed. You can access Riverfront Park, Dennings Point, and Madam Brett Park with connector trails. All the pathways and trails are wide, flat, and well maintained.

Nice little park like area. Go stretch your legs while viewing the waters edge of the Hudson River. Fishing off the pier. Looks like dogs allowed on leash. Easy parking. Free admission.

Beautiful trails for biking and walking that are right along the river, beautiful views of the river and surrounding mountains. Most of the paths are pretty wide and accommodating. Also a large green area perfect for a picnic near the parking area. Parking can be limited

This spot never ever gets old for me after 5 years in Beacon. The immediate and intimate connection to the vastness of the Hudson River in any season always seems to wake up my mind and my senses. The view of Newburgh is so close you feel is that you could reach out and touch it. There are people kayaking reading playing with children and yet there is space for everybody. It is a true gift that Beacon has these spaces available to the public every time I visit Im filled with gratitude.

Beacon residents made a wise choice to preserve the Scenic Hudson landscape, now a local park. Resting along the Hudson coast, you will enjoy trailing along steady waves, geese, and friendly visitors to this preserved parcel of nature. Come and marvel at the view of Hudson Bridge--but please clean up after yourself!

Nice park. Very quick, easy access to the river front and boat launch. Kids had fun searching for tiny clam shells and making rafts out of drift wood. We see people fishing here, dogs taking a swim, and small boats and paddle boards. Beautiful view of Newburgh and a short stretch of the Hudson. Down side for the beach part... skeletons. We found a lot of bones of animals, including a batwing that still had the skin between the bones. That was a little ick, but also part of nature, so what cant be too bothered by that. The biggest problem, as it always is, is people leaving trash and glass bottles broken on the shore. If you want to walk in the water I suggest water shoes so you dont cut your feet. Parking here has been pretty good. There is a trail that connects with a few others in the area so you can spend a good chunk of the day exploring different aspects of the park. Well worth a visit.

Fishing is great, lots of space on the dock for 6-7+ poles. Benches and places to sit everywhere. Absolutely beautiful. I go at least 3 times month during fishing season.

This is my favorite Hudson Valley riverfront park. Nice views, great spaces to walk and sit. The addition of the new parking area and pavilions are really nice. Scenic Hudson really did a lovely job with this park. I highly recommend a visit, and even bring the doggy.

In a time of Covid quarantine, spending a Memorial Day weekend afternoon on Long Dock Park was a breath of relief. Although many people were out, social distancing was being observed for the most part. Its an oasis to enjoy even in these dark days.

Long dock park is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Theyve recently made a lot of improvements to the park as well. So you can see more of the river and experience more of the shore line along the river. Lots of rich history here as well

Its a beautiful park site recently designed to be flood resilient. There are facilities such has kayaking, fishing pier, picnic areas, restrooms etc. The pavilion is designed to be food resilient and can hold education events, concerts. Public meeting etc. There is soft shoreline and hard shoreline designed to fight shoreline erosion due to sea level rise.

Great place to be if you have free time to take a stroll. During the warmer season you are able to rent a canoe. You could also rent a bike as well, but not sure if they are open during the fall.

Spent the weekend in Beacon and wanted to get out on to the Hudson River. Found out they rented kayaks at the long dock. We rented a 2 person kayak. Just before heading out the guide told us which way the current was running! Very important!!! He recommended that we paddle up the current, that way the paddle back wont be bad. Really enjoyed being out on the water and would definitely come back the next time were in town.On the other end of the parking lot (away from the water), there is a bike rental with what looked to be some decent bikes. Probably try that the next time were in Beacon.
