    My mind drifts when I run on my treadmill at home. I do it when it's raining. It's just boring. BC (Before CVD), hubs and I would go to the same walking paths. But the beginning of pandemic '20, made us explore different paths and go beyond what we already know. When it comes to running or getting your steps however it is in Westchester, there's no shortage of hitting waterside paths. We've driven by Tarrytown Reservoir- part of the North County Trailway on Old Saw Mill River Rd plenty of times especially if we want to take this less-chaotic back road into Tarrytown from White Plains in less than 10 minutes. You'll notice the parking lot and park/reservoir entrance- which is easily accessible and visible once you're approaching it. Aside from the reservoir and competitive element you get from running (or walking) on the path, this park is a three-fer because there are water activities such as kayaking and canoeing (double-check paddle boarding) in the warmer months. I really think the biggest reward is being with nature and being side by side to the reservoir. If you want a quiet, peaceful run- or just take in nature, this the spot.

    Stunning lake and nature walk. Bigger than you'd think! Rather quiet, however lots of bugs.

    “The paved path along the south side of the lake is 1 mile long, and connects to the North County Trailway (which follows the Saw Mill) at the east end.”

    Nice place for a short stroll…read more The riverwalk isn't extensive but it sure is pretty and there's some well maintained greenery that seems perfect for a small picnic. A beautiful view of the shore and a nearby bridge from the park benches, especially during sundown. There is a small playground nearby as well for the kiddies but a word of warning for the shore line walk, there may not be continuous fencing along the water so keep a tight leash on the younger kids. Even though there were plenty of signs warning against fishing, there were observed to be a few fishermen looking for a bite on a quiet summer evening. It was calming to observe the serenity and patience of the fisherman. Parking wasn't difficult (on a Sunday) however, I could see this being problematic on some weekends, as there were many residential street parking restrictions. The main parking lot doesn't provide for much parking.

    I absolutely love it here! Whenever I want to take a walk or be close to the water, I come here…read more This walkway is easy to access. There is paid street parking nearby now, which makes it easier to find a spot. On weekends, the walkway gets a little crowded. I've come during the day (during the week) and week nights though, and it hasn't been busy. I'm sure when the luxury buildings go up it'll be busier. This is a great place to come if you want to relax or take a stroll by the water. I'll definitely be back for another walk soon.

    7th September 2026 Untermyer Gardens…read moreYonkers, NY Very Sunny 72°F Did you know that in 1913 Samuel Untermyer hired William Bosworth who was the same designer of Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico, to design the "finest garden in the world"? His vision was of a theatrical, magnificent landscape blending Indo-Persian, ancient Greek, Roman, and Italian Renaissance designs. When I was last here in 2013, the Untermyer gardens looked sadly desolate and neglected. Today, the gardens have been restored to their true remarkable glory thanks 100% to generous donations in the millions. We could not have chosen a more perfect day to visit the celebrated historical Untermyer Gardens overlooking the Hudson on this glorious Labor Day Monday. I took many photos which do not do justice to the gorgeous scope and details of the beautiful manicured 43 acres. ***Open 7AM to 7PM - seasonally.*** There's more information on their website and QR codes at the entrance with rules to respect the environment. Good job! **Get there early.** We went at 8:30AM. By the time we were leaving at 11AM the park was packed and parking impossible. Thank you so much for reading.

    Untermyer Gardens is one of the most beautiful hidden gems in the New York area. The grounds are…read morealways stunning, but they're especially spectacular in September when everything is in full bloom and the gardens are filled with vibrant colors. Admission is completely free, although donations are accepted to help preserve this incredible place--which is amazing considering how well maintained it is. It's the perfect destination to spend about two hours, whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll, take plenty of photos, or do a little of both. The breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades make the visit even more memorable. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes getting there easy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get fairly crowded on beautiful weekends, but it's absolutely worth visiting and returning to throughout the year.
