    Welcome to Olana!

    Due to current construction taking place onsite, you may experience weekday delays upon entry to Olana State Historic Site. We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to your scheduled tour to allow time for parking and check-in, and to account for any construction delays.

    New York State Parks are open. Access to Olana’s 250-acre landscape is free. The park is open every day from 8 AM to Sunset. We encourage you to explore Frederic Church’s designed landscape with five miles of carriage roads as a way to enjoy the outdoors. Please note that Olana is a Carry-In, Carry-Out, tobacco-free environment. Dogs are welcome outdoors and must be leashed at all times.
    Please note: If the parking lot is full, you may park on the right side only of the main road.

  • Hudson River Skywalk

    The Hudson River Skywalk is a scenic 6-mile round trip pedestrian walkway where the Hudson River School of landscape painting began. The walkway connects Frederic Church’s Olana and the Thomas Cole Site via the Rip Van Winkle Bridge and features sweeping views of the Hudson River Valley and the Catskill Mountains.
    The Hudson River Skywalk Region includes the City of Hudson and the Village of Catskill, which both offer historic downtowns with restaurants, shopping and accommodations. Hudson River Skywalk is a collaboration between the New York State Bridge Authority, Thomas Cole National Historic Site, The Olana Partnership and Olana State Historic Site.
