We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Plum Point Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Riverside park providing picnic tables, a playground, grills and a white gazebo.
What runners say about Plum Point Park
“You get a great view of the Hudson River from Plum Point and there's even an easy trail that follows the water's edge.”
“Beautiful place to have a picnic and have a great time with friends and family, calm water and nice view”
Love this spot. Great place to come hang out, whether you're just sitting, fishing or swimming... it's beautiful and will definitely be one of my main spots. Not the best area if you're looking for somewhere to really walk around though, mainly for lounging.
Plum Point Park has beautiful views of the Hudson River. The trails aren’t long. There are two parts to the park - New Windsor and Orange County each control part of the area. There is good parking, a playground, picnic tables and grills. The park is the site of earliest European settlement in Orange County.
This is a nice park by the hudson river. The view is amazing. You can bbq, fish or hike. There is a side of park you have to book beforehand.
