Hudson Valley

Upstate river corridor

The Hudson Valley is a region in southeastern New York State extending along the Hudson River from New York City northward to Albany.

Known for its scenic landscapes, historic estates, and farm-to-table food culture, it draws weekend visitors from the city: We rented a cabin in the Hudson Valley.

The term evokes rolling hills, vineyards, and autumn foliage.
