📚"outdoor classroom" for introducing kids to nature (Scenic Hudson)
⛰️Steep rocky section at the start, save energy for the climb back
🦅Watch for bald eagles and blueback herring near the river

Cross a bouncy suspension bridge over Black Creek, then wind through forest to a Hudson River beach where kids can spot bald eagles and skip stones. Scenic Hudson designed this 2-mile loop as an "outdoor classroom" that feels like a mini adventure but won't exhaust little legs.
