Putnam County - A Treasure Trove of Beauty and Fun!
This Jewel of the Hudson Valley is only a short drive north of New York City.
Seated on the eastern banks of the Hudson River and just an hour from Manhattan, Putnam County is a jewel. The county has five Metro-North stops, making day trips hassle-free and a great getaway..
Putnam is a treasure trove of beauty, fun and culture with its crystal lakes and beautiful hiking trails - and historic sites, art & cultural experiences, and quaint restaurants & shops offer a wide variety of adventure, family fun, recreation and relaxation.
Nestled between the Hudson River and the Connecticut state line, the County's eastern borders are rich with lakes and farmland, charming villages and protected heritage sites while its western shorelines sit abreast the majestic and historic Hudson River. Tour the gorgeous gardens of Stonecrop and get an art fix at Magazzino Italian Art, both located in Cold Spring.
Putnam is also home to Hudson Highlands State Park boasting the popular Breakneck Ridge Trail, a strenuous path that rewards those who conquer it with unequaled views of the Hudson River Valley along the way. Explore West Point Foundry Preserve, one of America’s most important industrial sites featuring an “outdoor museum” along trails that pass the remains of foundry buildings and interpretive features that tell the story of the site’s contribution to the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War.
Plan your visit to Putnam County where adventure awaits!
