Just north of the city of Yonkers, on the east bank of the Hudson River, under 20 miles from Times Square, lie the Rivertowns of Hastings on Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown, and Sleepy Hollow. Dominated by the Palisades cliffs across the Hudson River, the villages are clustered at the base of a ridge of heavily wooded hills rising up over 400 feet above the river. It’s a land once inhabited by Native Americans and early American settlers, the home of the legendary Washington Irving, and also of some of America’s best-known industrialists and celebrities. The villages are connected by the Old Croton Aqueduct, which provides a unique opportunity for walkers and bicyclists to explore multiple villages, scenic areas, and historic sites. You can also enjoy the South County Bike Trail, built over the Old Putnam line and easily accessible from the Saw Mill River Parkway.
