I can see it's a place to be for hiking/trailing / biking/ exploring nature. I came here for tubing/sledding, a lot of snow/fresh snow. Not crowed , this place is a gem, hidden secretly. The fam had fun, good work out, alot of hills. Portable potty everything . A lot of history in this park.

Anyway, Zofnass Family Preserve, along with the Westchester Wilderness Walk, is a 150 acre park located in the SE corner of Westchester County, extremely close to the CT border. It's run by the Westchester Land Trust, and the person for whom it is named still puts a lot of time into the park. We visited in the winter, when there was quite a bit of snow. This exposed the one weakness of the park: There's trail blazing, but there's no distinguishing of colors. That made it a little difficult in spots when we were not sure which trail was which. This could be a minor quibble, however. Overall, it has a great trail system (aside from the blazes) and a really quirky vibe. There are a LOT of informational signs for various points on the map, and there's a lot of dad humor and puns used in signage. It's really a nice park, and one we'll definitely head back to.

Birch Meadow Preserve is a nice little bit of hidden nature, owned by the Stamford Land…read moreConservation Trust. The public entrance to the park is a little bit hidden, just off the end of Gun Club Rd in North Stamford. It's a small, mostly unimproved park, but quite pretty. There's a hiking trail that goes around the park, which is supposed to be blazed, but the blazing is a little bit inconsistent. At times it's a little bit difficult to tell if you've wandered off the trail and onto private property. You get some pretty views of Windmere Lake from the trail, as well as a side trail that leads to a bench. This is a lovely spot to check out, especially if you live in Stamford and want to take a short hike.

I HAD to go back to this because it's such an amazing experience. I'm sure they do more than "Fall…read moreFoliage" trips but that's when I visited in the past. Despite my best efforts in the past to do Fall train rides, which turned out to be disappointing only because there was never any good colors on trees, this by far is the very best fall foliage experience I've ever had in my life. You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.
