About this series: Rockefeller State Park Preserve offers quiet countryside walks of all lengths through forested hills and valleys. The property is the former country estates of John D. Rockefeller family. Since 1983, the Rockefeller Family has generously donated over 1771 acres to the State of New York. The trails of the Preserve are crushed stone carriage roads laid out by the Rockefellers in the first half of the 20th century. Designed to complement the landscape, the 45 miles of scenic carriage roads are wide and easy to walk.
