  Atlantic Kayak Tours

SPIDER cracks stretch across a dilapidated stone arch with A.D. 1912 carved into its weathered curves. Paddling under it, a group of kayakers arrives in a quiet lagoon so shallow that every stroke of the yellow paddles stirs up fresh mud. Overhead loom the ruins of an old castle, and straight ahead, a thick, overgrown jungle. It's not much of a stretch to imagine Dennis Hopper appearing, cameras strewn about his neck.

Anthony's Nose

- a side trail of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, perhaps the most significant trail in the whole US

Anthony’s Nose is a 900ft high mountain on the eastern side of the Hudson River at the Bear Mountain bridge. The views up and down the river from the top of this steep Hudson Highlands mountain are really spectacular. Looking down at the river you see the Bear Mountain Bridge at your feet and the river stretches left and right as far as the eye can see. It's a preety steep climb but the rewards are well worth the effort.

 Breakneck Ridge Trail

It's no wonder this trail is named Breakneck Ridge--this strenuous hike up a rugged crest is certainly no walk in the park. Tucked away in Hudson Highlands State Park in Beacon, New York, Breakneck Ridge Trail is a 9.6 mile loop that ascends from river-level and curves across a knobby ridge to the lookout before it twists back down to the starting point.
