The Copake Iron Works was established in 1845 along the Bash Bish Brook at the base of the Taconic Ridge. In 2007, the Copake Iron Works site and 18 acres surrounding the area were listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Sites. The Copake Iron Works Historic District comprises all of the buildings in the Copake Iron Works area, the historic blast furnace, three workers’ houses and the now-flooded ore pit, as well as the previously National Register-listed Church of St. John in the Wilderness. In 2016, the Copake Iron Works was designated a National Heritage Area Site in the Hudson Valley. Located within Taconic State Park in Copake Falls, NY, the site is jointly managed by NYS Office of Parks and Friends of Taconic State Park. The Copake Iron Works Visitor Center is open daily and self-guided tours of the surrounding site can be enjoyed year-round. Guided tours are available on weekends from May to November and by appointment. Wifi and parking are free. Access to a scenic trail to the Bash Bish Falls can be found at the eastern end of the parking lot.
