Several miles of scenic, wooded trails are ideal for hiking and cross-country skiing. The park has a small nature center open summer weekends that also loans out recreational equipment.

A full service restaurant overlooks the golf course and is open to the general public and golfers alike. Directly on the Taconic State Parkway, one mile north of the Route 55/Poughkeepsie exit.
