Beacon, Dutchess County - Named for Beacon founder Catharyna Rombout Brett, this 12-acre park is managed in partnership with the City of Beacon and located at the mouth of the Fishkill Creek where it meets the Hudson River. Scenic Hudson has developed an elementary school curriculum guide using Madam Brett Park as an outdoor classroom for City of Beacon schools.
Future upgrades will provide a hiking/biking trail that will link with the New York State Estuary Fishing Access and Greenway Trail and connect to Scenic Hudson's Beacon Landing and to Denning's Point/Hudson Highlands State Park. |
