I visited Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY this weekend and had a wonderful time. It is a very eclectic park, there is a beach, campgrounds, pavilions, and various hiking trails. We traversed most of the hiking trails to make our way around the peninsula, some were better maintained than […]
I had a great time traversing Cranberry Lake Preserve recently in North White Plains. The preserve had many different trails to choose from, and we did a perimeter walk to try and see what all of them were about. Cranberry Lake was beautiful and had many water lilies in it. […]
My first experience with Croatian cuisine was very positive at Dubrovnik in New Rochelle. The place is very popular and only bar seats were available, but we were happy to get in and try it out. Bread and water were supplied and we waited a short time for our meal. […]
Lasdon Park is a very unique place located in Katonah which I enjoyed exploring. It is a relatively large park with many well maintained trails to hike upon. By the main parking lot there are lovely flowers and fountains and benches to sit and take it all in. The area […]

I hiked around the lake and couldn’t count all the water […]

Croton Gorge Park is an amazing gem in Cortlandt, NY. Right from the parking lot you are given outstanding views of the Croton Dam and spillway. This is a beautiful engineering feat, and you can climb to the top of this wonder. Here atop the aqueduct views are afforded of […]
