The Hudson River Skywalk is a picturesque walkway that links the historic sites of renowned Hudson River School artists Thomas Cole and Frederic Church. Spanning six miles and crossing the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, it offers breathtaking views of the Hudson River Valley and the Catskill Mountains, immersing visitors in the landscapes that inspired Cole and Church's celebrated paintings.
This scenic route not only connects two national historic landmarks but also encompasses the vibrant City of Hudson and the Village of Catskill, both of which feature charming Main Streets with a variety of dining, shopping, and lodging options. The initiative is collaboratively supported by several organizations committed to enhancing tourism and preserving the cultural heritage of the region.
