Letting wildlife and people abound.

CORTLANDT, Westchester County (352 acres) — Scenic Hudson partnered with the Town of Cortlandt and Westchester County to prevent development from limiting the public’s enjoyment of these woods, rock ridges, streams and wetlands — and, just as important, its full potential to sustain the wide variety of wildlife dependent upon them.

Hudson Highlands Gateway Park is managed by the town; its 5 miles of trails are maintained in cooperation with the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. For inquiries about the park, call the town at 914-734-1050.

Free and open year-round, sunrise to sunset.
