The hamlet of Hyde Park is on the western side of the town of Hyde Park, bordered on the west by the Hudson River. The northern edge of the hamlet is Crum Elbow Creek, a tributary of the Hudson. On the north side of the creek, just outside the hamlet, is the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. The Springwood Estate, preserved as the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, is just outside the hamlet to the south.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hyde Park CDP has an area of 1.2 square miles (3.1 km2), all of it land.[2]

Contrary to popular belief, the Hyde Park CDP is not a village although many residents refer to it as such. However it is not a village in the traditional sense of the word, due to the lack of a village government (mayor, village board, etc.).[3]
