WELCOME
T O D U T C HE SS C OU NTY, IN T HE HEART
O F N E W YORK’S HU DS ON VALLEY!
POUGHKEEPSIE, OUR COUNTY SEAT,
was named by Native Americans, who roamed the hills and fished
the rivers in this beautiful valley. They may be gone, but traces live
on in the names of streets, parks and villages. The Dutch were the
first Europeans, followed by British and settlers from throughout
Europe. Although their communities have grown into charming
villages, artists’ districts and thriving commercial hubs, the names of
the earliest inhabitants remain, from Poughkeepsie (reed covered
hut by the little water place) to Fishkill (-kill is Dutch for stream).
Today, Dutchess County’s natural, scenic beauty, combined
with its convenient access, make it ideal for day trips or longer
getaways. Only 90 minutes north of New York’s metro area and
the Capital District, it’s accessible by car, train, bus and air.
Discover Dutchess’ natural beauty and friendly people. It’s the
kind of place where folks gather to sip a glass of wine or cold
cider and relax, watching the sunset turn the Catskill Mountains
blue and purple.
Dutchess celebrates the fine and performing arts, along with
New York State’s 2010 emphasis on the arts. The arts inspire
people, generate ideas, create initiatives and motivate actions! The
arts live at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, Vassar’s Loeb Art Center
and the Gehry-designed Fisher Center for Performing Arts at Bard
College. The Bardavon has showcased national acts since 1869,
2
and the Center for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck houses locally
produced theater and family shows.
An abundance of historic landmarks means you can revisit the
Colonial era, the Gilded Age or World War II. Our “great estates”
are now museums, and in addition to house tours, their grounds
boast formal and vegetable gardens, hiking trails and vast lawns
for picnics or Frisbee. Tour the Hudson homes of FDR, Vanderbilt
and Morse. Learn about FDR, Eleanor and the greatest generation
in our nation’s first Presidential Library and Museum.
Savor the bounty of Dutchess, from farm fresh fruit, produce and
wine, to cheese and bread. Our free Farm Fresh Guide maps
hundreds of farms and farm markets to visit, plus suggested
itineraries. Taste locally grown and produced food at one of five,
student-staffed restaurants at The Culinary Institute of America. Dine
at other fine eateries, many of which boast a CIA-graduate chef.
A wealth of outdoor activities makes Dutchess a destination for
nature lovers, with dozens of parks, multiple use areas, gardens,
nature sites and trails. Recreational activities abound. Spend a day
on the links, choosing from 16 golf courses. Hike, bike, or fish in
our streams or the river.
Craft and antique fairs, festivals, fine and performing arts, and
hundreds of exciting events make Dutchess the perfect destination
for a quick getaway. See Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome’s vintage planes
Opposite: View from Ferncliff Forest firetower, Rhinebeck/Michael Coluccio
Above: Walkway Over the Hudson/Fred Schaeffer
in airshows. Fill your weekend with family fun at Splashdown
Beach, Trevor Zoo and Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum.
Rekindle the romance at a B&B. Browse in Rhinebeck,
Millbrook and Beacon’s antique shops and art galleries. Treat
yourself to horseback riding. Study at our one of our five
colleges. Travel here, but journey within at the Omega
Institute or another retreat center. Drink it all in, from the
scenic landscapes to the award winning wines!
Sometimes the best way to find a place is to get lost in it!
Follow our byways and country roads, using our Scenic and
Historic Drive Tours and Bike Tours, all found on our website.
Choose an itinerary and wind through beautiful countryside
on your own outdoor adventure. Spectacular views of the
Hudson, Catskill and Berkshire Mountains and gently sloping
farmland have inspired artists and poets for centuries. The
photo opportunities are unrivaled, especially from the new
Walkway Over the Hudson!
Four hundred years after Henry Hudson sailed up his
namesake river, the exploration continues. Come see what the
buzz is about! Visit DutchessTourism.com for up-to-the minute
event listings, lodging availability and articles on things to do,
even Top Ten Lists of our favorite things! Call 800-445-3131
for information.
VISIT THE NEW
WALKWAY OVER THE HUDSON
New York State’s newest park, the Walkway Over the Hudson,
welcomes walkers, joggers, bikers, and skaters to enjoy the
longest, highest pedestrian bridge in the world! The Walkway
provides magnificent bird’s-eye views of the Hudson River, Catskill
Mountains, and adjacent landscape. The former 19th century
Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge is 1.25 miles long and
212-feet high! You’ll start walking on a wide, tree-lined path, past
backyards and businesses in the city of Poughkeepsie, then over
rooftops and treetops, and soon you’re looking down on the train
station, Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum, and the Mount Carmel
Square neighborhood. Gradually the ground falls away; now you’re
above Waryas Park, and the Hudson River.
The Walkway Over the Hudson, which once carried
freight trains to the rest of the country, is now for the enjoyment
of all. It’s a unique attraction, not like any other you’ve visited.
The Walkway Over the Hudson is a free linear park,
handicapped accessible and dogs are allowed. Visit daily,
7am-dusk. It’s a must-see! www.Walkway.org

Fish and Game
Whether you’re looking for trophy-class fish or you just want to
experience the tranquility of a secluded trout stream, Dutchess
County has it all. The Hudson River is quickly becoming the
destination point for anglers from around the globe. Our many stocked
streams and lakes have miles of public access available, and hunters
and water fowlers can challenge themselves at one of our many
multiple use areas. For sporting clays, trap and skeet shooters,
Dutchess County is a top Northeast destination, with four shooting
clubs and preserves open to the public.
There are numerous spots for catching trout, bass, pickerel and perch, as
well as places for dip-netting smelt, alewives and blueback herring. The
beautiful Hudson itself is an ideal setting for numerous species,
including largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, brown
bullhead, carp, white catfish and American shad.
Dutchess County is one of the top two counties in the Southern
Region of New York State for deer hunting with a special archery
season for deer spanning a total of about six weeks. In designated
hunting areas you can also find pheasant, grouse, woodcock, squirrel,
cotton-tail rabbit, raccoon and waterfowl.
Be sure to contact the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation in New Paltz for specific fishing and hunting regulations
and other relevant information before your planned visit to Dutchess
County.

They practice their art at eateries from one end of the county to the
other. See our complete Dutchess Restaurant Guide online at
DutchessTourism.com/restaurants.
Dutchess County Farm Guide On-line
One reason our restaurants are so exceptional can be traced to the
extraordinary variety of produce yielded by the area’s rich soil. More
and more restaurateurs are developing distinct regional menus featuring locally grown products. Farm markets and pick-your-own
farms that dot the countryside in Dutchess County allow visitors to
bring some of the Dutchess County Bounty home with them. See
