Description
Cruise up the Hudson River to Bear Mountain in all its autumn glory. This cruise takes you to Bear Mountain State Park at just the right time when those beautiful bursts of fall leaves start to appear along the Hudson. But this is much more than a fall foliage cruise.
Stop at Bear Mountain to indulge in some glorious nature. Hop off the boat for 2 hours and enjoy the park’s 50+ hiking and biking trails, paddle around the lake, and take in the general splendor of nature and fall weather.
You will also enjoy the autumnal sights with some light narration from your onboard guide, all the while enjoying the "Onboard Oktoberfest" with German food and beer specials plus live music.
Sample food and drink offerings include:
• Oktoberfest Feast Plate with choice of Bratwursts, Vegan Sausage or Pork Schnitzels and sides include German Potato Salad, Beet Salad, Red Cabbage, Potato Pancakes, Roasted Potatoes, Apple Sauce and Sauerkraut
• Prop & Peller Real Bavarian Pretzels
• Apple Cider Donuts
• Classic concessions items (hot dogs, chips, candy, etc.)
• Draft and bucket specials
Landmarks visible on the cruise include:
• Riverside Church
• Grant's Tomb
• The Little Red Lighthouse
• George Washington Bridge
• Hudson Valley foliage
• Bear Mountain State Park
