Confirmed from Charles Point Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park on the Hudson River featuring views of Bear Mountain, a fishing pier, and a train.
What runners say about Charles Point Park
“A beautiful spot to walk, run or just sit and talk as you admire the hills and the trains traveling up and down both sides of the Hudson.”
“It is usually a peaceful and quiet place to be.”
Beautiful place, amazing place for fishing, crab etc. So many parking spots available and its free. Best spot for sunset. Can see bear mountain and bridge from here. Trail is maintained properly. Also have places to sit. Good for biking, walking, watching sunset, and take some photos. Beautiful views
The views here is so breath taking and calming. Lots to do in this area as well, my personal favorites is walking the walkway to Peekskill or sitting on one of the benches enjoying the scenery.
Beautiful views. Nice quite park to sit and collect your thoughts. Also a great place to walk. Close to walking path.
Beautiful view of the Hudson River and the start of a great walk along the newly built walkway that goes all the way to the Annsville Circle bring a linch or enjoy great tasting Italian food midway through the walk at Taorminas and for dessert right next door is Hudson Creamery for some handmade icecream!
