From the highest point, there are views of the river and surrounding countryside. The Historic Hudson Valley has many old houses along the river. Its flower-lined pathways lead up to a small 18th century manor house. Guides in period costume demonstrate crafts and cooking in the downstairs kitchen with its open hearth fireplace. The gardens are all landscaped beautifully.
Picnic tables are available by a small pond.
If you long to get out on the river to see the sights from the water, the Hudson Riverboat Co. in Ossining offers cruises on a Mississippi paddle wheeler.
