Rockefeller State Park Preserve, located in Sleepy Hollow, NY, is a scenic natural retreat spanning over 1,770 acres of forests, wetlands, meadows, and rolling hills. Originally part of the Rockefeller family estate, the preserve was donated to the state of New York to protect its rich biodiversity and historic carriage roads.

The park features over 45 miles of well-maintained trails, including the picturesque 13 Bridges Trail and the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, which are popular for hiking, birdwatching, horseback riding, and photography. The landscape is home to diverse wildlife, including white-tailed deer, foxes, and over 200 species of birds. Swan Lake, a tranquil centerpiece of the preserve, provides stunning views and a peaceful spot for reflection.

Visitors can explore remnants of the region’s history, such as stone bridges, rock walls, and scenic overlooks that were once part of the Rockefeller family's private estate. The preserve is open year-round, offering seasonal beauty, from vibrant fall foliage to serene snow-covered paths in winter. It is a designated Important Bird Area (IBA), making it a favorite destination for nature lovers and conservationists.

With its combination of natural beauty, rich history, and recreational opportunities, Rockefeller State Park Preserve provides an ideal escape into nature just a short distance from New York City.

 

Anna Graham went for a hike in Rockefeller and recounted her hike using a bunch of weird phrases I didn't understand.  I couldn't find any reference to trails on the park map.  Something got mixed up.
