Stories & Learning
Where the River Meets the Highlands
The Hudson has shaped this landscape for thousands of years. These are a few of its stories.
Story of Place
A Trail Built With the Landscape, Not Through It
The Hudson has shaped this gorge for thousands of years. The Fjord Trail is designed to work with that shoreline, not against it.
Nature & Ecology
Four Landscapes, One Fjord Trail
River's Edge, Highlands, Forest and Marsh each bring their own ecology, light and rhythm to the corridor.
Living Landscape
Restoring the Shoreline
Building a trail along the Hudson means repairing what a century of industrial use left behind - not just adding a path on top of it.
Project History
From Grassroots to Groundbreaking
The Fjord Trail began with neighbors worried about a highway. It grew into a 7.5-mile linear park backed by nineteen public and nonprofit partners.
