Hudson Line, Foundry Paths, and Main Street

4:00 PM

Stay at The Dutchess Inn & Spa.

Good when you want a Beacon base that still feels like a getaway rather than just overflow inventory, especially for couples or spa-oriented weekends.

6:30 PM

Start with Le Bouchon.

A cozy French bistro choice for a more deliberate Cold Spring dinner on Main Street.

8:30 AM

Start with Cold Spring Coffeehouse.

A simple coffee-and-pastry breakfast stop on Main Street before the trail, train, or riverfront walk.

10:00 AM

Enter West Point Foundry Preserve from the station at 10:00 AM.

Allow roughly two hours for Foundry Brook, wooded paths, and industrial remains. For a strenuous substitute, choose Bull Hill only after arranging legal Washburn trailhead access; the station approach lacks continuous sidewalks.

4:30 PM

Return to Main Street for lunch by 12:30 PM.

Eat, browse the central blocks, and walk downhill to the Hudson. Keep the afternoon in the village rather than adding another drive.

7:00 PM

Reserve dinner at Riverview Restaurant.

A Hudson River dinner pick with lunch/dinner service and a current official site.

9:00 AM

Start Sunday with Cold Spring Coffeehouse.

Start with coffee, then choose a river-level walk whose trailhead and transportation are clear. Do not substitute an old Breakneck map or the closed Breakneck station.

11:00 AM

Return to the Hudson before boarding.

Walk from Main Street to the riverfront, then head to the platform without adding an improvised Route 9D stop.
