Hudson Valley Trail Network Gets National Honor

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) — The Hudson Valley Trail Network is getting some national attention.

A ceremony will be held Tuesday to celebrate the attraction's induction into the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame maintained by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.

The Hudson Valley Trail Network includes rail trails in Ulster and Dutchess counties linked by the Walkway Over the Hudson. The old rail bridge spans the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie (poh-KIHP'-see).

The Rail-Trail Hall of Fame now has 30 inductees, including the High Line in New York City and the Paul Bunyan State Trail in Minnesota.
