Park Overview:
Briarcliff Peekskill Trailway connects Briarcliff Manor to Peekskill. Along the way, it wends through forest and wetland, under power lines, and past backyards.
Park Description:
The Briarcliff Peekskill Trailway is on a route that was purchased in 1929 as part of a plan to connect Briarcliff Manor with Peekskill. Only the section of the proposed parkway between Briarcliff and the Armory on Route 9A in Ossining was ever built. The rest of the route became a footpath officially designated a trailway in 1977.
Trails Overview:
The Briarcliff Peekskill Trailway is always close to private property so hikers are encouraged to stay on the trail at all times.Even as it goes through deep woods, the trail borders homes when it crosses paved roads. Because the trailway is a linear footpath, hikers must retrace their steps, leave a car where they will end their hike, or rely on public transportation. Circuit hikes are possible because the trailway either connects to or is near five parks,
