Historic aqueduct trail, walk or bike
This 26.5-mile trail stretches from Croton-on-Hudson south through Ossining, Sleepy Hollow, and into Yonkers, following the path of a historic 1842 aqueduct with remnants like stone ventilators and the Keeper's House. The trail offers a mix of crushed stone, dirt, and grass surfaces suitable for walking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing, with varying difficulty across its length.
