Hudson Valley extends from the valley of the Hudson River and adjacent communities. At its furthest extent, the region includes Albany, Troy and Yonkers. Initially, this area's abundance of wildlife and fertile soil made it attractive to native inhabitants. English navigator Henry Hudson was heading an expedition for the Dutch East India Company in search of the Northwest Passage. When he first arrived at Haverstraw Bay, he proclaimed the region belonged to the Dutch.

Today, the Hudson Valley is mostly known for its lush vineyards, succulent orchards and rustic farms. Additionally, the region hosts the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. Voyagers can learn about the fight for sustainable food at the facility, and they can tour the Storm King Art Center afterward.

Delaware Wild Forest sits to the east, around halfway up the river valley. Its proximity to the Balsam Lake Mountain Wild Forest heightened its popularity among explorers. Enterprising mountaineers can delve into this 13,000-acre mountainside preserve and experience it. If a visitor wants to honor the area's Native ancestry, they can head to the Mohonk Preserve. The sprawling 75-acre expanse includes trails, cliffs, fields and forests. 

If your travels take you farther north, check out Saratoga National Historical Park. This multisite destination pays respect to the district's Revolutionary War heritage. It is also close to the famous Saratoga Lake, which has ample fishing opportunities for aspiring anglers. Furthermore, the varied geographic and topological features inspire, enlighten and excite visitors daily. The Hudson River carves a fjord cut during previous ice ages in the Highlands zone, creating a magnificent attraction.
