The Best Summer Hiking Trails In Westchester County NY

Hiking season is in full swing, try to enjoy it before it gets too hot!  Here are some of the best hiking trails in Westchester County.

1) Scenic Hudson Park - Irvington NY - A short stroll but well worth it for the views of the palisades.

2) Rockwood State Park - Sleepy Hollow NY, Located across from the Rockefeller Preserve this trail offers a nice 2-3 mile walk.

3) Sylvan Glen Preserve - Yorktown, NY - This trail features remnants of an abandoned granite quarry.  

4) Merestead - MT Kisco, NY - Another short hike but lots of cool things to check out such as, the former farm fields & woodlands, mansion, and pet cemetary.

5) Camp Smith Trail - Peekskill, NY - This trail is a bit more challenging then the others and featutres a 6.2 mile walk to Anthony's Nose and back.  Another great feature is the constant views of the Hudson river, that makes me happy!  Only experienced hikers should attempt this hike.

6) Mianus River Gorge Preserve - Bedford, NY - The trail runs along the Mianus River.

7) Croton Gorge Park - Croton NY - One of my personal favorite hikes in Westchester.  You can't beat the views of the amazing water falls and Croton Dam.
