Rockefeller State Park Preserve

Over 1,770 acres of the picturesque landscape are covered by 40 kilometers of trails at Westchester County's Rockefeller State Park Preserve. It provides tranquil rural strolls of all lengths through forested hills and valleys encircling sunlit pastoral fields.

This gorgeous state park will provide you with a sweet caress of lovely views whether you choose to walk, cycle, jog, or ride a horse there. Every season brings out the beauty of Swan Lake and the Pocantico River, and the beautiful bridges make for great photo opportunities. The 13 Bridges Loop Trail is where you may find them. The Preserve is primarily the hardwood forest dominated by huge oak, tulip poplar, maple, and beech trees. The forests, fields, streams, and wetlands support a high diversity of native species of resident and migratory birds, More than 200 different bird species can be found in the area, so bring your binoculars. In the winter, you can get calmed by the peaceful sound of birds, revived by a dip in the lake (or river), and energized by a snowshoe hike through the forest.
