We asked you to show us how you do summer in the Hudson Valley, and you delivered! 

Some of you spent your time kayaking on the Hudson River, checking out less visited waterfalls or fishing at local ponds. Others explored hiking trails with friends at Long Dock Park and Madam Brett Park in Beacon, biked scenic routes through Yonkers, or even hugged the iconic Dover Oak tree along the Appalachian Trail.

We’re delighted by your submissions, both by the beauty you’ve captured and the diversity of the activities. We hope these photos inspire you and others to get out and enjoy the outdoors! For ideas of where to go and what to do, visit Outdoor Adventures and Our Parks sections.

Please help us showcase the richness of outdoor experiences in the region by continuing to share your snapshots of trips to the Hudson Valley’s green spaces and parks. Don’t forget to tag @scenichudson on Instagram and use #myscenichudson!
