Recreational Activities

Everyone into our pool...

Like everything else at the Castle on the Hudson, our pool is first-class. At a spectacular 30x60 feet, it allows you to swim to your heart's content while overlooking the majestic and historic Hudson River. The pool complex includes a giant outdoor Jacuzzi and elegantly appointed changing rooms. An adjoining bar is designed like a secluded cave and built from stone quarried on site. Poolside lunches are served nearby. Landscaping includes a private garden sitting area that boasts a bocce court and a placid waterfall.
Pool closed Monday - Thursday after Labor Day
Pool closed for season on Columbus Day (Weather permitting)

There are numerous activities in close proximity.
Horseback riding is available at the nearby Rockefeller family preserve. For those whose passion is tennis, the Castle has its own outdoor court exclusively for guests.

For shoppers, there are numerous places to go including "The Westchester," an elegant mall which houses Neiman-Marcus, Nordstrom's, Tiffany & Co. and many more. Opportunities for antiquing around and nearby restaurants serve a variety of cuisines.
