Ossining, Croton Dam to Croton Harmon

We’ll hike from Ossining, visiting Croton Dam, to the train station at Croton Harmon. This hike is 9.5 miles long, with smooth, relatively flat trails and some roads. Not as wild as the other hikes we did this season, but you need to be fit enough to hike almost 10 miles. There are frequent trains for the return to NYC.

Taking the Train from NYC: We’ll take the 8:52am Metro North train. Let’s meet at the clock in the middle of Grand Central at 8:20am, We want to board the train early, around 8:35, so we can get seats. The trains have been crowded this fall.

Return trains from Croton-Harmon are 2:39, 2:51, 3:06, 3:39, 3:55 and 4:06.

Drivers: This hike begins and ends in different places. I suggest you park and meet us at the Ossining train station at 9:55am. Then you can ride the train back to your cars from Croton-Harmon at the end of the day. Here’s the Google map for Ossining train station. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9tteANVq3u2Hj6gf6?g_st=ic

Gear: Trail runners, sneakers or hiking boots, rain coat, just in case, and warm layers.

Food: Pack lunch and snacks. I usually bring 2 liters of water.
