DUTCHESS COUNTY Outdoor Ambassadors FROM MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS, LAKES AND TOWNS to pastoral farmlands and trails, the gift of nature is never far away in Dutchess County. A wealth of outdoor activities makes it perfect for nature lovers: nine formal gardens; 23 major parks; six multiple-use areas with woods, fields and ponds; and three paved rail trails. Dutchess County's foremost outdoor enthusiasts explain what they love about the area's natural wonders. As an extreme sport enthusiast, my passion for the outdoors comes with the territory. I love being in the fresh air under a blue sky, standing on green grass (or in lots of snow). In today’s world, most of us are indoors all the time.

Every Wednesday summer evening, we lead a sunset paddle to Denning’s Point, and after four years, I still look forward to it because you always see something new. —Katy Bell Behney, Mountain Tops Outfitters Whether walking through the woods or along the Hudson River, or both at the same time, Dutchess County trails are food for the soul. Sometimes I find a walk, a stroll, a run, a long connected pathway or simply a spot to stop and gaze at the spectacular scenery around me. Try Mills-Norrie Park at sunset, or the Walkway Over the Hudson at noon. Both are bound to delight everyone! Run or cross-country ski through Baird Park and hike through the Hudson Highlands; there are trails for every taste and ability - and I love them all. —Linda Cooper, regional director, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation 2 WWW.DUTCHESSTOURISM.COM The Mid-Hudson Valley is a Hiker’s Paradise: miles of marked and Over the years, I’ve cycled all over the country, but the maintained hiking trails; scores of mountains and hills; acres of beautiful scenery and historic sites of Dutchess County make it park land, farms, waterfalls, marshes, and wetlands.
