Houlihan Lawrence: It's a great place to take the kids on a mild day, with lots of ponds and lakes for fishing and hiking trails to burn off some energy.
Houlihan Lawrence: Open seven days a week, 8 a.m. to dusk, year-round. Dogs are allowed, but must be leashed and are not permitted in the picnic area. Great for a daytrip!

Park · 25 tips and reviews
Time Out New York: Tour the historic wineries, go hiking and visit the Croton Point Nature Center just an hour’s train ride north of the city. Cabins and tent camping on the Hudson are available.
Houlihan Lawrence: The pathway consists of 3 parts: Oak Street in Mount Vernon (1 mile); Palmer Road to Harney Road (3.6 mile) & a 5-mile section extending from Green Acres Avenue to Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla.
Michael Moses: Spend the day in your hiking boots on the Appalachian Trail as it crosses the summits of Bear and West Mountains, then circle back on the SB Yellow blaze trail. 9.7 miles and worth the solitude.
