Known for its ecological diversity and historical significance, this iconic river offers a scenic retreat amidst an urban backdrop. Visitors can admire the river’s beauty as it winds past towering skyscrapers and verdant parks, creating a picturesque meeting of nature and metropolis. The Hudson is unique not only for its length but also for its role as a sanctuary for biodiversity, with numerous fish species and migratory birds making it their home.
