We have landed in an area with easy access to a number of multi-use paths. We have already walked the Westchester Riverwalk right along the Hudson River and the pedestrian/bike path across the Hudson over the Mario Cuomo Bridge, today we walked a very short portion of the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail (OCA). This is a 26.5 mile linear state park that stretches from the New Croton Dam in Cortland, New York, to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. It follows the path of an aqueduct constructed in 1842 and is now a multi-use path of varied surfaces (from hard packed dirt to grass to residential sidewalks).
We started on it a block from the house and headed north for a little over an hour before turning around and coming back into Tarrytown. Our walk roughly paralleled the Hudson River but much higher up. We started in a residential area before getting onto school property, then alongside the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and into Rockefeller State Park.


(at least the section we walked).



so we looked either up or down from the mostly flat path.
