A short approach trail of roughly 1.3 kilometers, this route provides access to the Hudson River through a wooded corridor that is reported to serve primarily as a connector rather than a destination in itself. The path is understood to terminate at the river's edge, where anglers and paddlers often put in. Though modest in length, the trail offers a practical means of reaching the water in a landscape where direct vehicular access is limited.
