Confirmed from Kingston 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.
Community park with sports facilities, a boat launch, sandy beach & seasonal lifeguards.
What runners say about Kingston Point Park
“The old metal gate is straight from a spooky halloween or horror movie but what lies beyond it is really gorgeous.”
Lovely park. There's a large area to bring dogs. It has a short 9 hole disc golf course that wraps around the park. It has both open and wooded holes. Definitely for beginners, but a lot of fun nonetheless. There is also a rail trail attached that has beautiful views across the water to Rhinebeck.
Nice little beach on the Hudson. A picnic shelter & bathhouse are at the parking lot. There's a ballpark across the street & more picnicking close by with a covered shelter & lots of tables & benches...a lot of benches.
The park is situated on the hudson river and the trail follows a abandoned railroad. I guess it was uses in the 1850 when Kingston was the capital of NY. It’s a great trail for the dogs for a good walk. Was able to meet a lot of dog friendly people on the trial. You also have an option of going to a dog park.
Parts look a little rough but this place is a gem. The old metal gate is straight from a spooky halloween or horror movie but what lies beyond it is really gorgeous. There are rock outcroppings, bridges, river side paths and plenty of paths through the woods.
