A Great Walking Trail

I’ve known about the Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway for years, but I never walked it until recently.
By “walked it” I mean to say that I’ve walked a portion of it. The trail is 16 miles long, and I haven’t had the time to go the whole length.
Managed by the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the trail is on high ground and goes from New York City all the way up to the Croton Dam.
Late yesterday afternoon, I hiked north from a starting point in Yonkers, at the Lenoir Nature Preserve where I spotted some white-tailed deer, two does and a very watchful buck. From there, I walked north into Hastings and Dobbs Ferry.
The trailway is one of Westchester’s gems.
