Blue Ledges - An Interesting Spot Along the Wild Hudson

Peak Elevation: 1750 ft

Descent: 400 ft

Distance: 2.5 miles

Location: North Woods Club Road off Route 28N north of North Creek.

The trailhead is along the North Woods Club Road (west off of Route 28N about 1.7 miles north of Minerva) just before you reach Huntley Pond. The road is a good gravel road.

The start of the trail passes around the east end of Huntley Pond and is more root filled than most.  After about 0.2 miles it leaves the pond (and the roots) and crosses a shoulder to descend again to cross a small brook. The rest of the trail is mostly a walk in the woods and ends with a descent to a beautiful spot on the Hudson River on the bank opposite the cliffs called the Blue Ledges.
