The Mid-Hudson Bridge is an impressive white structure that stretches gracefully across New York’s most famous river. The bridge spans 3,000 feet (914 meters) above the Hudson River, connecting two picturesque parks in Poughkeepsie and Highland. Drive along this spectacular bridge for excellent views of the water and forests surrounding it. The structure has three lanes for vehicle traffic and a wide pathway for bicycles and pedestrians. Rent a bike and cycle across the bridge, stopping in the middle for photo opportunities. Capture snapshots of the wide river berth and undulating terrain on the flanks. If you have a fear of heights, don’t look down from this vantage point 135 feet (40 meters) above the water. Gaze up at the two tall towers that hold the suspension cables of the bridge. These cables are decorated in LED lights that change colors to suit the occasion. See the structure at night on national holidays, when its multicolored lighting system reflects delightfully off the dark water. Venture through the scenic Franny Reese State Park on the western end of the bridge. Follow its 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of trails that meander through scenic terrain. Take photos of the imposing bridge from a distance. Lay down a blanket for a picnic in the shelter of the trees on the river bank. On the eastern side of the river is the smaller Kaal Rock Park. Note that the former president Franklin D. Roosevelt lived in this area and attended the opening ceremony of the bridge, which was constructed in 1930\. The bridge has a small toll for eastbound vehicles. The Mid-Hudson Bridge is about 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of New York City in the southeastern part of the state. Take a train to the Poughkeepsie Railway Station and walk south for a few minutes to get here. Visit nearby attractions, such as the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, the Illinois Mountain Park and the Culinary Institute of America. ## Plan a trip to see Mid-Hudson Bridge Price found within the past 48 hours.
