Walkable Westchester - 2021 - 3rd Edition

Looking for places to walk, hike, or ride?  Westchester County has over 225 parks and more than 635 miles of trails for you to explore.  The best book about hiking and walking in Westchester County ever since it was first printed in 2009, this third edition of Walkable Westchester by Jane and Walt Daniels has been completely updated for 2021.  This comprehensive guide not only has the latest trail and park updates but also includes new color maps and photos and other features to make this go-to reference for exploring Westchester County even better.

A new "What to do Where" table provides an easy reference for figuring out where you can take a dog, ride a bike or horse, or even cross country ski or utilize accessible trails.  This third edition also includes 27 new places to walk, major updates to several parks, short descriptions of biking trails, and sidebars about history, lore, and natural science.  Popular features from the previous edition like a county-wide locator map and GPS coordinates have also been updated.

Westchester County has a wealth of green open space open to the public, with some parks having less than one mile of trails and others featuring more than 40 miles!  You can find hills to scramble up, ravines to wander through, meadows to ramble across, historic sites to explore, and Gilded Age gardens to visit.  This latest edition of Walkable Westchester includes a wide variety of walking opportunities on paved paths, woods roads, dirt roads, or narrow woodland footpaths in a mix of urban, suburban, rural, and natural settings.

With only a few small exceptions, all homes in Westchester County are located within one mile of a park boundary or place to walk, so grab your copy of Walkable Westchester to explore Westchester as you walk, hike, run, ride a horse, walk your dog, bike, cross country ski, or snowshoe.
