Fall is upon us and the foliage is one of the things I enjoy most about the season. Below are five trailways worth traveling if you enjoy it as much as I do!
1) Rockwood Hall, Sleepy Hollow NY - This spot is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and scenic. It is accessible by public transportation (off Route 9). One of the highlights is the amazing views of the Palisades.
2) North County Trailway, Croton NY - This site offers the only view over the Croton Reservoir and is accessible by bike. Go south on route 118 out to the railroad brodge over the Croton Reservoir ( which is handicapped accessible). You can also pick up the trail from Route 134.
3) Lakeside Trail At Teatown Reservation, Ossining NY - This site offers many scenic views on the trail over the lake.
4) Camp Smith Trail, Peekskill NY - These views are billed as the best in Westchester County. It is also very romantic, many couples have gotten engaged here! It is accessible from the Toll House Visitors Center on Route 6/202. Or you can reach it by the Appalachian Trail just north of the Bear Mountain Bridge.
5) Silver Lake Preserves White Trail, Harrison NY - This is a little park that was once the site of American Revolutionary War activity.
