Rockwood Hall: History and Habitat Hike

Join Park Educator Joe Zarzhevsky for a guided, 2-mile hike at our Rockwood Hall section of the Preserve, as we celebrate the 2026 Hudson River Valley Ramble! This program is a potpourri of both site and natural history, where we’ll spend time observing wildlife, trees and plants, and learning about the former estate of William Rockefeller. This site boasts scenic views overlooking the Hudson, lush forests, and remnants of 19th century luxuries. We hope to see you there!

The Rockwood Hall parking lot is on Kendal Way at the west end of route 117, just after the intersection of Phelps and Regeneron. If the lot is full, you may park in the Phelps garage (free). Gather at the kiosk at the top of the hill.

Leashed dogs are welcome. Bring water to drink and wear comfortable shoes;

Cost: $4.

Maximum: 40 people.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS HIKE IS AT ROCKWOOD HALL, DO NOT GO TO THE MAIN PARK ENTRANCE!
