In addition to it’s stunning vistas and views over the Hudson and the Catskills, Poets Walk Park also has quite a few fascinating, rustic wooden structures – the most impressive of which is The Overlook (picture approaching The Overlook above).

I wasn’t able to find out much about these structures other than that they were designed by Optimus Architecture of Rhinebeck, NY. They probably date to the origin of the park in its present form (I couldn’t find out when that was).
