Pollepel Island
Admission includedRising from the Hudson River just off the shore of Fishkill, New York, Pollepel Island is one of the region's most atmospheric and storied destinations. Bare stone towers and arched doorways emerge from dense vegetation, framing views of the surrounding Highlands. Few places in the Hudson Valley carry as much legend and layered history as Pollepel Island. Long steeped in Native American lore and later transformed by an eccentric Scottish immigrant, the island rewards curious visitors with a sense of discovery that is genuinely rare.
