May 28, 2024, North County Trailway — Tarrytown

Great section of the North County Trailway. The paved path passes through a beautiful wooded area. As the trail gets to Tarrytown Reservior, there is an area with benches for a break.

Historic building which used to be the Eastview Pumping Station. It was built in 1897, and up until 1993, it was used to clean and move the vil­lage’s drinking water. The building is not open to visitors, but from some points on the trail, you can see into the old buildings.

Nice view of the Tarrytown Reservoir. The trail runs very close to the water, so you have a wonderful, unobstructed view across the reservoir. The path is popular with cyclists, so make sure you move to the edge if you want to stop to enjoy the great vistas.

Beautiful lake, at the eastern end there is a kayak rental in summer. A short boat trip loosens up the cycle tour and cools you down.

Graham Hills park offers several miles of singletrack for everyone from beginners to experts. You can easily reach the mountain bike trail system by train. It is only a 55-minute train trip from NYC to Pleasantville and then a one-mile ride from the train station to the park entrance.
