Walkway Over the Hudson opened to pedestrians on October 3, 2009. The reopening gave a former rail crossing a different public life. Pair this anniversary with a personal memory or photograph from your own visit. Be clear about when the picture was taken. Sharing a story does not mean you are currently there, and HikerQuests does not publish your search location with a discovery post.
