Manitou Point Preserve
Garrison, Putnam County
Hudson River Valley, New York State

From Scenic Hudson: "Garrison, Putnam County (126 acres) -This rocky promontory originally was called Mystery Point, for reasons obscured in history. You don't need to be a detective to uncover the preserve's myriad treasures.

"From there, you can pick up hiking trails to explore more of the preserve's scenic and ecological wonders. These include Manitou Marsh, an important nursery for striped bass, and Copper Mine Brook, which features several small, picturesque cascades. But the most exciting trek hugs the Hudson shoreline atop dramatic rock outcroppings, affording with each step an ever-changing but always magnificent perspective of the river."

Note: Although this property is now privately owned, an agreement with the landowner allows for public access to the preserve and its trail network. Please respect the owner's privacy by paying attention to all signs and avoiding areas marked as private.

Listen to the sounds of frogs and other wildlife in the pond. Visit Manitou Point, one of many scenic views in Putnam County.
