Walking trails, gardens, seasonal skiing
This 62-acre state historic site in Katonah offers walking trails through formal gardens, an ice pond, and tree-lined paths on the grounds of John Jay's retirement home. The grounds are open year-round from sunrise to sunset, with seasonal hiking, birding, and cross-country skiing.
Free · Outdoor · Quiet-friendly
The grounds are open dawn to dusk year-round and admission is free, making it easy to drop in for a walk.
Winter offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the grounds when conditions permit.
The farm market runs Saturday mornings in fall with live music and local vendors; kids can try on period clothing at the Halloween event.
The historic house and visitor centers are currently closed for restoration, so plan for outdoor walking only.
