Millerton is a village located within the town of North East in Dutchess County, near the Connecticut border. The town borders Taconic State Park (the Rudd Pond Area) and the Harlem Valley Rail Trail is also located nearby. Taconic State Park is situated along eleven miles of the Taconic Mountain Range and shares a border with Massachusetts and Connecticut. There are two developed areas in the park: Rudd Pond and Copake Falls. Both offer an extensive trail system with terrain that varies from easy to challenging and offers spectacular views. The park also offers a beach, picnic tables and pavilions, hiking, fishing, a boat launch, ice skating, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. There is an extensive campground at Copake Falls that offers primitive campsites, as well as those seeking a more home like experience. Other things to do include hiking and biking along the newly developed Harlem Valley Rail Trail, hiking to Bash Bish Falls (just over the Massachusetts border) or up Brace Mountain, which is the highest point in Dutchess County. Other attractions near Millerton include the Iron Works Museum, where visitors can learn about the iron industry at the former site of the Copake Iron Works, established in 1845.
