Enjoy a day out of the city and experience all that the Hudson Valley has to offer while relaxing and socializing safely with others in our group.  Please note that we will follow strict guidelines during the day.  You may take Metro North Railroad or drive to meet the group at The Poughkeepsie Train station to start you adventure that will include a visit to 2 local wineries, a Hard Cider Mill, a local farm stand and The Walkway Over The Hudson State Park !  The group will also stop at our private campground on the shores of the Hudson for lunch.

How it works:

• You may take Metro North 9:45am train to Poughkeepsie or meet the group at the train station.

• We will go to the NYSN Campsite for lunch
• Following lunch we will visit 2 local wineries, a farm stand and The Bad Seed Hard Cider Mill
• The group will end the day with a walk over The Walkway Over The Hudson State Park which was an old train bridge converted into a pedestrian walkway.  It is a 1.2 mile flat walk with breathtaking views.
