Weekends Are Made for Exploring Rockland
This Summer and Fall, Seasonal Ferry and Free Shuttle Services Make It Easy
Cross the Hudson and discover all that Rockland has to offer on weekends this summer and fall—by ferry and two free shuttle options. Explore charming river towns, bike-friendly routes, scenic trails, local eats, and more—all within 30 miles of NYC and easily accessible from Grand Central Terminal.
By Water: Hop aboard the NY Waterway Weekend Ferry from Ossining to Haverstraw. The ferry runs hourly from late morning to evening on Saturdays and Sundays (weekday service also available). From the Haverstraw landing, connect to a free TOR Ferry Connection shuttle with stops at:
- Haverstraw Village
- GARNER Arts Center in West Haverstraw
- Rockland Lake State Park
- Nyack
- Palisades Center
Service runs through Sunday, October 12. Check the weekend ferry schedule and Tor Ferry Connection schedule for details. The Haverstraw ferry landing is also a great launch point for cycling adventures.
By Bridge: Back for another season, the free Hudson Link weekend shuttle crosses the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge from the Tarrytown train station to Nyack. Available through Sunday, October 26, this shuttle is your ticket to a day of shopping, cafés, dining, entertainment, and spectacular river views in historic Nyack.
Getting Here from NYC: Both the weekend ferry and Hudson Link shuttle are accessible via Metro-North from Grand Central Terminal.
