    Sit A Bit: [@ The Main Picnic Area(?) ]
    Mercedes C.

    Since school has been out, I have a bit more me time and giving my home gym lots of attention. But come evening when hubs wraps up at the office, he and I take time to explore different trails as much as possible. Minutes away from Armonk is Cranberry Lake in West Harrison, NY. This is more than kicking some dirt- these are hiking trails in their purest form so definitely wear hiking shoes/boots to take in the free entrance and Mother Nature in all her glory. After parking, you'll see picnic tables in a designated space then the trek gives you the chance to hike through dense high and low peak trails, some smooth paths and many rocky ones full of exposed tree roots (this is where hiking shoes come in). I'm not sure how much the entire park covers but the further you walk, you'll notice a bridge, pond and historical placards on the Preserve, Hubs and I enjoyed our early evening hike. Aside from Cranberry's ruggedness, this was more than just putting one foot in front of the other or getting from point A to point B. It's more about the scenery, the wildlife and being one with Nature.

    Beautiful preserve with a lake. Had a few trails where you could hike for 2-3 miles that were "easy" to "moderate". Pretty well kept with some scene views by the lake or mini waterfall. Family friendly (saw many parents bring small children on hikes). Also has benches throughout the park with a designated picnic area and a decent-sized parking lot. I'm sure I haven't seen all of it yet but I'll definitely be back in the future.

    This is just a beautiful spot to spend a couple of hours on a mild summer day. Our grandson had…read moreheard about it last year and wanted to check it out, so we got a Zipcar and drove up. Hiked up and across, ate the lunch we'd brought at one of the umbrella'ed tables near the playground, and then the skies opened up; drove back to Manhattan on an almost flooded Bronx River Parkway. Grandson back for a visit this year, wanted to go back! Zipcar got more expensive, so I followed the directions on their website using public transportation. DON'T! The website says take Metronorth to White Plains and then a Bee-line bus, #6, to the Dam Plaza. We found the bus stop, and the schedule said 11:43. Perfect, right? Not. 12:43 came and went. Other buses came and went. The #6 never showed up, so finally we took a taxi for $20.00. Took 10 minutes to get there. Better to take a train to Valhalla and walk the less than a mile or Uber for 8.95 or something like that. Watch the schedule for going back to Grand Central, because in the afternoon it seems to run just once an hour. Plan accordingly. Otherwise we had a good time.

    I had an amazing time visiting this beautiful dam! There's a scenic trail you can hike to reach the…read moretop, and while the steps are pretty intense, it's definitely worth it. I'd recommend wearing comfortable shoes and taking your time on the way up. The view from the top is absolutely stunning, and you can even walk across the dam. There's also a lovely park area where you can relax and hang out, plus convenient on-site parking.

    My boyfriend and I went for a mini vacation in Norwalk, CT and I booked the Sunset Harbor…read moreLighthouse Tour which we went on this past Sunday evening from 6:30-8:30, on 8/10/25. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Captain John and Charlie were great and all the passengers aboard had a great time! We passed three lighthouses-Peck Ledge LH, Sheffield Island LH and Green's Ledge LH. Charlie, co-captain of Captain John, had just toured the inside of Green's Ledge LH the day before which is listed on Airbnb for $6,000! He went around the ship showing everyone the floor plan. It especially exciting to be on the Long Island Sound and to see the red and white towers from Northport, since I live on Long Island!! We were able to see several different viewpoints of the sunset and osprey nests as well. Definitely recommend to residents of Norwalk AND tourists alike!

    What a treat! If you live in the area, you need to put this on your summer to-do list. I've lived…read morein the area for five years but didn't learn about this cruise until this summer. Be warned, book tickets online and in advance. They sold out for day/time we wanted to take the cruise, but there were 20 tickets still available the night before. Plan accordingly. We arrived for a 3:30 cruise on a beautiful August afternoon. The cruise seemed to be full, and there was a mix of couples and families on the boat. The boat ride is smooth and relaxing. The boat staff was offering a "guided" tour, but it was tough to hear, so I gave up trying and just enjoyed the experience of being out on the water. The boat ride is about 30 - 40 minutes each way. You won't get wet, at least we didn't, and there are enough seats/room for everyone. Once you arrive at the island, you have about 1.5 hours to explore. They have a guided lighthouse tour, a small concession stand, a small beach (not one that you would lay out at, so no need to bring a suit), volleyball courts, nature trails, etc. This entire experience is set up to be calm and relaxing. There isn't too much to do on the island, but that's kind of the point. You are only there for 1.5 hours, and there's no way you can get that bored in that period. Just unwind and take in the scenery for a few minutes, it will clear your mind. They offer limited food at the concession stand, but you can always bring your own snacks as well. Next time, I will bring a few snacks for us, especially since our trip was over dinner time. The bugs - BEWARE. They don't spray for mosquitos, and as a result, they are everywhere. I didn't know bugs would be a problem in advance, but the cruise provides spray upon arrival for free! I brought my own SPF, but they also provided that as well. The staff is lovely and do anything they can to make your experience as pleasant as possible. This is the perfect low-key day trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
