Copake Falls Trail
Taconic State Park

The rolling, heavily wooded Taconic Mountain Range shares a border with New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Taconic State Park stretches for 11 miles along the range, and includes two developed areas: Copake Falls and Rudd Pond. For this hike, you’ll be in the Copake Falls Area, which offers an extensive multiuse trail system with terrain that varies from easy to challenging. All of it accesses spectacular views. The highlight, of course, is the Copake Falls Trail, which showcases the beautiful waterfalls. Bring your camera or sketchbook and plan to spend some time enjoying the serene vistas. When you’re done hiking, grab your bathing suit and cool off at the swimming beach, or visit the Copake Falls picnic area, playground, museum, and campground.
