West Point, New York Area Restaurants

The city of West Point, home of the United States Military Academy, lies on the west bank of the Hudson River. Founded in 1802, West Point was chosen as the site for the city because of the unusual S-shaped curve on the Hudson River. For nature enthusiasts, nearby Bear Mountain State Park, Harriman State Park, Palisades Interstate Park and Crows Nest have ample area for hiking, cycling, kayaking, cross-country skiing and ice skating. After you have worked up an appetite, settle in for a satisfying meal in Highland Falls.
