Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve, located in Yorktown Heights, Westchester County, New York, encompasses approximately 125 acres and reaches an elevation of 831 feet. The preserve offers hikers a network of trails totaling about 4.4 miles, leading through diverse terrains to the summit. On clear days, visitors are rewarded with panoramic views of the Croton Reservoir and dam, the Hudson River, the New York City skyline to the south, Bear Mountain, the Hudson Highlands, and, occasionally, the Shawangunk Ridge. The preserve's trails are well-marked and vary in difficulty, making them suitable for hikers of different experience levels. The blue trail, for instance, provides a direct route to the summit, offering a moderate challenge with a rewarding vista at the top.  Established through the efforts of concerned citizens and maintained by the Yorktown Land Trust, Turkey Mountain has been a cherished natural area for over 50 years. Its preservation allows residents and visitors alike to engage in nature study, hiking, and to enjoy the unparalleled views from its peak. For those planning a visit, the preserve is accessible from Route 118. From Yorktown Town Hall, head south on Route 118 for 1.9 miles, then turn right onto Locke Lane, where parking is available. Whether you're seeking a vigorous hike or a leisurely nature walk, Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve offers a serene escape with scenic vistas in Westchester County.
