This 16 mile trailway offers a scenic walk from northern Westchester county into New York City, following the path of the aqueduct that was once used to bring fresh water from the Croton River to the city. The trailway is owned and managed by the NY State Office of Parks and traverses most of the Historic River towns along the lower Hudson in Westchester county. The trailway has some sections suitable for horseback riding, but no motorized vehicles are permitted anywhere on the trail. Most of the trail is easy to find and well marked as well as being very accessible from train and bus stations, it is suggested that you obtain a detailed map if you are interested in traveling long stretches of the trail. The trail begins on the south side of the Croton dam, farthest away from the spillway.
