Bower Park in Pleasant Valley, NY is a natural oasis conveniently located within walking distance of the hamlet, offering residents a chance to enhance their health and well-being. These trails, developed through a collaboration between Dutchess Quarry Supply Company and the Pleasant Valley Town Board and Conservation Advisory Council, provide opportunities for walking, biking, and cross-country skiing, while motorized vehicles are not permitted. Visitors can explore the main Railroad Trail, which follows the path of the old Poughkeepsie Eastern Railroad, and enjoy the scenic beauty of the meadow filled with wildflowers, making it an ideal spot for bird watching.
Originally part of the P E Railroad, the property was acquired by the town in 2004, with Dutchess Quarry offering an additional 3.77 acres in exchange for access to the buffer area. The Quarry's generosity allows residents to enjoy the trails while respecting the Quarry's boundaries. With the trails still in development, visitors are advised to wear appropriate footwear, stay on the marked trails, and take precautions against ticks. Bower Park offers a peaceful and picturesque escape for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
