Travel through three ecologically distinct forests on this 1.5 mile route, the only trail in Van Cortlandt Park to traverse the park from east to west. The trail will lead you through park’s Northeast Forest, home to red oak, sweetgum, and tulip trees, as well as a frog-filled marsh; the Croton Woods and its sugar maple and hickory trees, as well as the Old Croton Aqueduct; and the hilly Northwest Forest, home to stately tulip, oak, and hickory trees.

How it works:

  • Register and we will send you all the meeting info.
  • Meet at the park and your guide will bring you through the trail.
  • Following the walk you may decide to stay with the group for food and drink at a local place.

How difficult is the walk?

It is 1.5 miles and is mostly flat.  When you arrive on the other side public transportation is available or you can walk back through the park on your own.
