Marshlands Conservancy

Reviewed By HRHCam - New York City, United States

Cool hiking well marked hiking trails for bird watching and general exploring. Few white tail deer and wild turkeys are in attendance. You are surrounded by the sound and good views of the water and marshland.

T.R. Gallo West Strand Park

Reviewed By V553GTcarolynh - New York City, United States

This was the bustling heart of town when barges hauled cement, slate, coal and whatever else needed to be moved along the Hudson. Now it's a beautiful and peaceful vantage point to watch the river. What's left of Rondout's beautiful architectural details are still preserved in the faced of the buildings facing the waterfront. lots of places to eat, things to see right here, but definitely take a walking tour of the neighborhood around this spot, which was nearly completely destroyed in a misbegotten fit of "urban renewal" madness in the late 1960's. This spot is a small triumph and a must see for a trip to KIngston.

Mahopac Lake

Reviewed By martypongo

Lived on this lake for the past thirty years. The water quality is excellent, plenty of fish, many great boating days a year and nice area with plenty of rural character. 52 miles from midtown with two highway choices and a train station only twelve miles away.

Kingsland Point Park

Reviewed By sonjac543

We started in Sleepy Hollow for Kingsland Point Park and the views are so beautiful especially on a clear day. Walked down to the lighthouse and the path goes all the way to Tarrytown. Loved it
