State Parks of the Taconic Region

When I am not writing about waterways, I make videos on the history of parks. Continuing the series on the centernnial of NYS Parks, here are the State Parks of the Taconic Region, which covers the left bank of the Hudson River in the Hudson Valley region..

The video is timed for the centennial of the agency administering New York’s state parks, which was created in 1924. In this episode, the parks include Clarence Fahnestock, Hudson Highlands, and Staatsburgh, with hiking trails, historic mansions, freshwater beaches, connected by a scenic parkway.

For each park, I provide the official map and images relating to the park’s history and unique attractions.

With each month, I will add more videos covering each New York state parks region.
