Hiking trails, carriage road, Hudson views
Castle Rock Unique Area in Philipstown offers 129 acres of open fields and woodlands with a historic carriage road leading to a gazebo overlooking the Hudson Highlands, along with primitive camping and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Free · Outdoor · Quiet-friendly
The carriage road to the gazebo is gentler terrain than the steeper woodland sections, making it more accessible for younger hikers.
Parking is located off Wing and Wind Road; bring a map or GPS coordinates (41.370319°N, 73.944954°W) as signage may be limited.
Primitive camping is available but requires backcountry skills; families should be prepared with all gear, water, and food.
