Croton Gorge Park on Route 129 in Croton-on-Hudson is open all year round from sunrise to sunset. (see previous post)
There are several trails you may want to explore if you visit the park to see the dam. Here's one. First drive to the parking lot farthest from the dam.
To get to the trail, go up the path where my daughter, Kei is standing in the picture below.
Then turn right and go over this bridge.
Now you are on the trail. If you follow this trail, you'll soon go under the high tension wires.
In another minute or two you'll come to a house and a fork in the trail. If you go left, you will see a set of stone stairs that lead up to the Aqueduct Trail. There is a large pipe under this trail that carries water all the way to New York City. If you turn left at the top of those stairs and stay straight on the trail, you will eventually come to the top of the dam. But first, let's see why Kei wants you to go the other way.
It looks like she is pointing at something below the tree at the end of the rock wall.
Can you see him in the picture below? (Click on the picture to make it bigger.)
Let's look a little closer.
It's Sam!
