No passport required to marvel at the secondlargest hand-hewn stone structure in the world,
second only to the Giza Pyramids in Egypt—just
hike this trailway to enjoy the magnificent Croton
Dam spillway and its cascading waterfall at Croton
Gorge Park. Or delight in panoramic views,
complete with a birds-eye view of the Hudson River,
from the perch of the 560-foot high Spitzenberg
Mountain at the Blue Mountain Reservation in
Peekskill. In the mood for a more leisurely stroll?
Then amble along the unpaved pathways of the
12-mile linear park, built on lands that were
originally intended to become a parkway. No
bicycles on this trail.
