Sal J. Prezioso Mountain Lakes Park is Westchester’s northernmost county park and spans 1,082 acres of rugged landscape and native hardwood forest. With five lakes and a stunning overlook, the park is a premier destination for outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and fishing, and ice skating, snow-shoeing, and cross-country skiing in the winter. During summer, the park hosts Camp Morty, offering a traditional camp experience for underprivileged children in Westchester. It is also a popular spot for weddings and other events with a spacious lodge and dining hall. The park is open year-round, from dawn to dusk and leashed dogs are allowed. While a county park pass is not required, camping fees apply. Most of the trails here are for hiking, but the main road (Mountain Lakes Camp Road, which turns into a gravel road named Pine Lake Road) through the park is a popular, challenging climb through this scenic area.

As you cross over an old rail trestle bridge, you are treated to great views of the New Croton Reservoir. The bridge is not open for car traffic, so you can stop on the path for a quick break to take in the views.

Interesting tunnel under Kitchawan Road. The tunnel was constructed when this trail was still a railroad, but it has been adapted for hikers and cyclists. It is a fairly short tunnel, so you are able to walk through it without a light.
