One of the country’s most extraordinary scenic trail systems awaits your discovery in Westchester County.

At 3.6 miles, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Path is one of the longest shared-use paths in the country. In addition to providing a new connection for non-motorized travel, the path— with its six overlooks and amenities at each landing—offers an exciting and unique recreational experience. The two landings on either end of the bridge offer amenities including welcome centers, interactive displays, public art and restrooms. The landings offer access to the path for pedestrians to enter onto the bridge and continue to explore the overlooks on their way across the Hudson River. The Westchester Landing is located at 333 S. Broadway, less than a mile from downtown Tarrytown.

No passport required to marvel at the second-largest handhewn 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.

Colonial Greenway

Natural beauty and rich history come together on this 15-mile unpaved trail loop system that links numerous open spaces and spans five municipalities, utilizing the Hutchinson River Pathway and the Leatherstocking Trail, as well as existing trail systems within the County and local parks and nature preserves. It winds through woods and wetlands that are home to an abundance of wildlife and through neighborhoods touched by the lives of Thomas Paine, Anne Hutchinson, James Fenimore Cooper and other great figures of American history. Open to hikers, walkers and runners, portions of the trail are also appropriate for equestrians. See map for points of access along this trail.

East Coast Greenway

The East Coast Greenway is a walking and biking route stretching 3,000 miles from Maine to Florida. The Greenway offers a safe place for bicyclists, walkers, runners—of all ages and abilities—to commute, exercise and visit new destinations. The Westchester section of the East Coast Greenway runs along the Sound Shore communities all the way to the Bronx. NS

North-South County Trailway

This paved, multi-use trail spans 36.2 miles through Westchester County, 22.1 miles comprise the North County Trailway, from Eastview in the Town of Greenburgh north to Putnam County.
