Briarcliff Peekskill Trailway in Westchester

This used to be a railway line.  Now, it's paved and on both sides of the walkway, covered with trees.  Get off at the Underhill exit on the Taconic State parkway.  Drive south to Route 120.  Drive East along route 120, and you'll see a German restaurant on your right and then a little further east, a parking area for the trailway on your left.

Start walking south on the trailway and you'll cross on a beautiful, old bridge that spans the Croton Reservoir.  Wonderful water views.  Keep on going south and you'll see a lake on your left with swans.  Keep on walking south and you're in a forest walking on a paved path.  The trees surround you, embrace you.  You and the forest are friends.  You can walk for over 20 miles round trip on this trailway.  Turn back when you think you'll get tired.
