Pollepel Island

Fishkill

"fantastic, energetic, personable, and informative with some humor mixed in"
"fascinating place and beautiful, rustic gardens"
Park free at Metro North station weekends

Built in the early 1900s as an armory for a wealthy arms dealer, this crumbling Scottish-style castle sits on its own island in the Hudson River. The only way to explore the ruins and hear its wild history is by boat tour, complete with a knowledgeable guide who brings the legends to life.
