If you are looking for local things to do to maximize your travels to Northwest Westchester County, NY, below are some of our favorite things to do in the area and local events this weekend. This area is full of natural beauty, located on the Hudson River, it offers Scenic views from high elevations. Since nature is medicine for the soul, it might be worth checking out.

3 minutes down the road is Croton Dam Park, a 97-acre park with hiking trails and beautiful views of the new Croton's dam and the spillway. This was once the world's tallest dam and remains one of the largest hand-hewn masonry structures globally.

Fun Fact: Our home was originally "1 Croton Dam Road", and the homes on this street were originally built to house immigrants, mostly Italian stone masons who relocated to this area so they could easily commute to work, building the dam which was completed in 1906.

About 10 minutes down the road in this town is Croton Point Park, a 500 acre park with hiking trails, a beach, a nature center. They offer camping as an option for a fun and unique lodging experience. You have to make reservations in advance for this.

1 minute down the road is a playground for young children.

5 minutes down the road is the elementary school that has sports fields for nearly every sport you could imagine. Track, football/turf, soccer, softball, tennis, baseball, basketball. They also have multiple playgrounds. Just be mindful to the times you visit, but otherwise bring your gear and have fun.

Within a 10 minute walk is Croton Village, with cozy small village vibes, full of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and a famous village landmark: our Dummy Light-- an old-style traffic signal perched on a pedestal in the middle of the road.

Fun Fact: This dummy light was installed around 1926, and is one of only a handful remaining in the entire U.S.

Hudson River Music Festival is scheduled for June 21, 2026 at Croton Point Park. This is a yearly music festival that usually hosts jam type music. You can find out more information including how to get tickets at www.hudsonrivermusicfestival.com
