Mianus River Gorge Preserve

Highlight • Gorge

You can't ride bikes on the trails, but a nice spot for lunch (byo) when rambling in the CT/NY liminal zone. Lock your bike (or drive there) for a short but sweet hike.

Cross River Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Cross River Reservoir is a freshwater lake in scenic Westchester County. It is in a gorgeous forest setting, and when you cycle past it here on the Old Post Road Bridge, the views are simply stunning. As you look out over both sides of the bridge, there is nothing but tranquil water and a tree-lined shoreline. In the fall, the colors are stunning!

The Bedford Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Bedford Oak is one of those rare living landmarks that quietly connects the past to the present. Estimated to be over 500 years old, this massive white oak has stood through centuries of change in Bedford, from Native American times to the Revolutionary War and beyond. Locals have always held it in high regard, and when development threatened its space in the 1970s, the community stepped up to save it. Thanks to their efforts, the tree and the land around it are now protected and cared for.
