When New York City acquired the land for the reservoirs, the Main House was moved several hundred yards from its original site to its present location in order to save it. When the reservoirs are at low levels, stone walls and foundations that were once part of the Muscoot property can be seen. In 1975 Westchester County opened Muscoot Park. Here there is a beautiful Georgian Colonial house purchased by Ferdinand Hopkins in 1880. It was operated as a gentleman's farm.
Trail passes above hemlock woods and skirts large swamp area.
Joining the blue trail, it passes through a stand of mountain laurel and continues around the upper border of several reclaimed fields. There are distant views to the west from the top of these fields. The trail enters the woods again in an area that show evidence of having been plowed many years ago and continues through a logged-over area to the northern boundary of the park. The most northern loop of the trail goes through some wetlands which can be quite soggy in wet weather and can be avoided by taking a short cut on the green trail. Emerging from the woods, the trail then returns to the farm roads along a cultivated field or across the stream and back through the upper hay fields.
