Fishkill Creek Greenway & Heritage Trail

The City of Beacon envisions the development of a continuous trail connecting the Beacon Metro-North train station to the Town of Fishkill through the City of Beacon, reconnecting citizens with the entire length of the Fishkill Creek. The trail is envisioned as a vital arterial connection within Beacon, much the same way as the creek itself has always been a vital part of the city. An essential trail project goal is to shift perception of the city's relationship to the creek from an exploitative one that served industry to a contemporary one that respects the sensitivity of the natural environment and encourages positive interaction with Beacon residents. Through its role as civil engineering design consultant for multiple adaptive reuse projects and new construction projects along the Fishkill Creek corridor, Hudson Land Design has designed thousands of feet of the Fishkill Creek Greenway & Heritage Trail as integral parts of the overall site development projects in an effort to achieve the City’s ultimate goal for the trail system.
