Croton Aqueduct Hike (Stroll)

Last weekend we tried our first hike from a new book, 50 Hikes in the Lower Hudson Valley. The Croton Aqueduct is an utterly flat, fun hike through small towns, woods, and backyards between Ossining and Croton-on-Hudson along the top of the original aqueduct. At the end (or the beginning) of this linear hike you come to the stunning, Roman-Empire-in-America Croton Dam.

This is the perfect hike for Saturdays in spring, when it is a little cool out, your allergies are just awakening, and you have your best history buff/architect by your side.
