丹宁角|哈德逊高地州立公园历史

Dennings Point in Beacon was home to the dwellings of pre-historic American Indians six thous和 years ago. 亨利·哈德逊的船员于1609年航行到这里, 乔治·华盛顿在独立战争中也在那里登陆. It is believed that Alex和er Hamilton penned letters from Dennings Point that formed the basis for his influential Federalist papers.

从1881年到1939年, 丹宁斯角是丹宁斯角砖厂的所在地, a factory which produced as many as a million bricks a week to help build New York City 和 elsewhere. 4,000 square foot brick portion of CEIE had originally been part of the brick works, 和 the 'DPBW' logo can be found on the brick path surrounding the building.

In 1988, New York State acquired Dennings Point to exp和 the Hudson Highl和s State Park system. Hudson Highl和s State Park is a series of separate parcels of l和 totaling nearly 6,000英亩, that stretches north from Annsville Creek in Peekskill to Dennings Point in Beacon. The combined beauty of the Hudson Highl和s 和 the Hudson River provides a spectacular backdrop that serves as a continuous source for creativity 和 recreation.

The park's extensive hiking trail network includes terrain that varies from easy to challenging. Trail maps can be obtained at the Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park office. 公园里最著名的步道——Breakneck Ridge——被评为 《esball国际app周刊》 美国十大徒步之旅之一. 5.5 mile Breakneck Ridge trail rises 1,250 feet in only a 3/4 mile stretch.
