Poets' Walk Park, nestled in Red Hook, NY, is a serene retreat sprawling across 120 acres of meticulously designed landscapes that date back to the 1850s. Once the cherished stomping grounds of writers such as Washington Irving, the park is a collection of picturesque "outdoor rooms" connected by verdant meadows, leafy groves, and historic stone walls.

Visitors to Poets' Walk Park can immerse themselves in the same inspiring scenery that sparked creativity in literary giants of the past. Whether reveling in the vibrant melodies of songbirds flitting through the meadows, wandering through tranquil wooded ravines, or gazing out at the timeless vistas that have captivated visitors for over 170 years, this park offers a peaceful oasis for all to enjoy, free and open year-round.
