| Saugerties Lighthouse / Nature Trail |
| The Ruth Reynolds Glunt Nature Preserve is currently open sunrise to sunset. The riverside deck remains closed to the public. Located along the Hudson River at the confluence of the Espous Creek, the land surrounding the trail to the Lighthouse consists of 17 acres of wooded grounds and tidal wetland flats. The area is supported by a sandbar comprised of dredged sediments from the channelization projects of 1888 and 1889, at which point the Esopus Creek was deepened to make way for ship access to the Saugerties Harbor. |
