Hudson River 360°


The mission of the Hudson River 360 project is to interpret the past, support the present, and sustain the future of the river.
Hudson River 360º is an interpretive site where people can connect with the Hudson River. It is an online portal to the riverscape packed with information about things to do and places to visit on and around the Hudson River and its tributaries. The aim of the project is to improve access, raise awareness, and promote the river as a conduit for community, attract leisure and recreational use, and improve quality of life here.
