Beautiful walking paths through the forest. The estate is beautiful and there is a bench located behind the main house, which is the perfect spot for watching the sunset.Upvote4Downvote- Christina SquitieriJuly 28, 2017The tour of the house ($11 per adult), is definitely worth it. The grounds are free so it's a great place to hike to the Hudson River or to picnic!Upvote3Downvote
- Christopher DuerkesMarch 19, 2015Nearly five miles of scenic carriage roads surround the mansion, though they are rather hilly. You can just as well stay near the house and watch the Hudson River slip by.

"I love this place. It is so clean in the summer months and the water sprinkler is great for the kids. A great place to have a picnic with the kids or start a BBQ grill and enjoy in a safe environment."
