Fodor's Expert Review Mills-Norrie State Park
Formed from Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park and Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston Mills Memorial State Park, the park encompasses 1,200 scenic acres along the Hudson River, about 5 miles south of Rhinebeck. The grounds include close to 9 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback-riding trails; a marina; nature center; public golf course; and the Staatsburg State Historic Site. Camping is an option; there are tent sites and 10 cabins available for rent between May and October. Atlantic Kayak offers short kayaking tours on the Hudson. Eagles can sometimes be spotted from the nature center.
