Stumbled on this park while driving through the area. Very few people were here, it doesn't seem super busy. A few picnic tables around, good views. Trails were quite well marked. Map was a little unclear as far as what colors the trails were blazed with. Overall, honestly, a nice little area to walk around!

This park has potential, but it's not there yet. Though the park is open daily (in theory), the gate to visitor parking was locked with a car parked in front of it. There were no park staff around we could see, though inside was one country truck. The trail map isn't easy to follow (we supplemented with GPS), the trails are poorly blazed and hard to locate, and the wooded paths are poorly maintained - very overgrown - bring tick spray. We had a hard time finding many of the points of interest, gave up, had a picnic on the lone bench up by back of the main house, which was also hard to get to (I repeat - poorly blazed trails). This park is carry in, carry out so make sure to bring a bag with you. With better trail maintenance, this old estate could be a little gem.

Interesting place worth beautiful landscape. This was part of my home around Mount Kisco. Northern Westchester or middle, really had some nice plants ro hike. Spent four hours in the woods.

Yes, if the gate is open. We parked off the road as the gate was locked, but not sure if it was legal.
