👍👍 I parked at the haviland west trail parking. It was gravel and had plenty of parking. It was free and just a minute walk to the Walkway over the Hudson entrance (with restrooms). If you're coming from Poughkeepsie keep in mind that there's a 1.50 toll to return via the mid Hudson bridge.

This 251-acre park features hiking & biking trails, the ruins of a 19th-century estate & more.
