If you live in or near Dutchess County you know that for the last several years they have been constructing a multi-use rail trail.  It is being built in sections.  The first section was built a few years ago.  It now connects from near Daddy’Os restaurant in Hopewell Junction to Route 55 in Lagrange. Once the pedestrian bridge is built over Route 55 it will connect all the way to the Walkway over the Hudson and on out for several miles on the Ulster County side.  I am told that this is the longest pedestrian bridge in the world and the view from it is nothing short of spectacular.

Our office is proud to announce that in support of the project, we have sponsored a bench and it has been installed.  It is between the 1.0 and 1.5 mile marker about half way between Route 376 and Lake Walton Road.  It has a nice view overlooking Lake Walton.

It is a great venue for exercise or if you just want to take a stroll. If you are ever walking or riding the trail feel free to take a few pictures and post or send them to me to post.

This is what the view looks like:
