Peekskill's small, walkable town and easy access to hiking trails and waterfront make it an ideal day trip for those who love the outdoors.
Bike rentals are available for scenic excursions along the Hudson River, and shuttles take visitors from town to the Blue Mountain Trailhead for either hiking or mountain biking.
River cruises are available for evening sunsets, daytime sightseeing tours or Sunday brunches.
The one-mile trail from Fleischmann’s Pier Park to the train station is also an excellent riverside walk for both daytime or sunset views, with outdoor sculptures installed along the path.
Several thrift stores and antiques shops are located alongside restaurants and bars, among the most popular is the Peekskill Brewery.
