North County Trailway

The North County Trailway is a paved path that extends over 20 kilometers through forests and residential areas, offering multiple access points throughout its length. The path follows a former railroad line and connects various locations across the region.

The path originated from a railroad line that carried passengers between 1881 and 1958. After passenger service ended, the route was converted and now serves walkers and cyclists.

The route follows a former railroad course and displays historical station sites with plaques along the way. These locations tell the story of the region's rail heritage and how people once traveled through Westchester County.

Parking is available at several points along the trail, including shopping centers and public buildings. The path is well marked and easy to enter, making it suitable for different activity levels.

The trail crosses a reservoir on an original railroad bridge and connects visitors to a nature preserve. This bridge is a genuine structure from the railroad era and offers a rare view of the water landscape.
