Nutten Hook Unique Area receives public access improvement funds

STUYVESANT – The 117-acre Nutten Hook Unique Area in the Town of Stuyvesant is now more accessible to the public with $100,000 in improvements by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The enhancements include a small gravel parking area and gravel bus parking area; two picnic areas, which include a covered pavilion; and a trailhead information kiosk. Later this year, DEC will complete work on a universally-accessible pathway to the Hudson River and improvements to the beach area, where people can launch car-top boats.  The new improvements are located off Ice House Road in Stuyvesant.
The Nutten Hook Unique Area is part of the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve system.
