Cold Spring is located on the banks of the historic Hudson River, just one hour from New York City. Located in a lovely, secluded, forested region, this quaint 19th century village has gift and antique shops (lots of antique shops!) chic boutiques, great restaurants and other attractions. Everything in town is within easy walking distance of the train station, for visitors arriving from New York via the scenic Hudson Line from Grand Central Station. Cold Spring has gorgeous river views and its name is said to have come from George Washington after he drank from a spring during a visit to the area. The town became a thriving village in the early 1800s, and the town center was designated as a historic district in 1973. Cold Spring has been rediscovered by “day trippers” and makes a wonderful, romantic get-a-way weekend destination for two. The Appalachian Trial is just one mile from town, so it makes a good base camp for hikers. Cold Spring’s Main Street runs down a steep hill overlooking the river, where a pretty bandstand makes a picturesque spot for a picnic while you watch the boats passing by. Other things to do include canoeing and kayaking on the river, mountain biking and tours of the historic homes and other historic spots nearby.

March is the month to look for the first signs of spring. Summers in the Hudson Valley are hazy, warm and humid. September can be a mixed bag of clear, cool Canadian air or humid, warm air with intense downpours. October is one of the best months in the region for hiking and other outdoor sports. The weather is cooler and less humid then, with crisp, clear views of the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Hudson Highlands.
