Lower Trail

Dogs Leashed

Features River/Creek

The Lower Trail starts from up high, near the entrance to the Woodhall estate portion of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. The trail winds down the hill on a series of curves that act as a gentler form of switchback. The large meadow you pass through is home to a herd of sheep that keep the lawn under control. Near the Hudson River, the Lower Trail reaches its namesake lower level and turns north to follow the river. There are a few nice viewpoints with benches that let you take your time on this trail. At the northern end of the park, the trail ends at the Rockwood Hall Brook Trail.
