Description
A short boat trip from Beacon delivers you to a Hudson River island crowned by the ruins of a 19th-century, Scottish-style castle. You can explore the grounds on guided or self-guided tours, or time your visit for one of the special events hosted on the island. As the sun drops, the old stonework turns into a striking sunset backdrop.
