February 28, 2022 Jasper Kershner

Westchester County, a collection of towns that serve as a popular suburb for the bordering New York City, is also the gateway to the Hudson River Valley, an area that promises a plethora of outdoor activities, from sailing to bird-watching to cross country skiing. The County also contains Rye Playland, a popular children's amusement park, historic sites from the American Revolution, the African American Heritage Trail and several famous houses, including Lyndhurst, a Gothic Revival mansion.

Westchester Trail Rides

Reviewed By Immandy - Boston, United States

Westchester Trail Rides (and Cowboy Bob) makes for a fabulous horseback riding experience in the woodland hills of northern Westchester County, NY. Bob is wonderful to work with and very helpful and committed to his clients' experience. I arranged a riding experience for my son and daughter-in-law and Cowboy Bob couldn't have been better to work with. His "ranch" in Croton-on-Hudson is a beautiful spot and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds, corrals, and barn, and walking the nearby trails, while Cowboy Bob guided the rest of the family on horseback. It was a beautiful day made more so by the wonderful demeanor and service of Cowboy Bob.

Greenburgh Nature Center & Manor House

Reviewed By Florida-Gigi-1 - Punta Gorda, United States

The barnyard closing with Dana, the staff member who gave us our tour, was excellent! Dana was superb with my four year old and six year old grandchildren. The children were able to pet and feed the goats, sheep, and chickens. They walked the goats and put all the animals in their pens for the night. Then Dana showed the children two eagles, an owl, and a hawk telling them several interesting facts about these birds of prey. Great visit. Highly recommend it!
