Kitchawan Preserve

Until 1989, this area between Route 134 and the Croton Reservoir was part of the Kitchawan Research Station of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and has since been acquired as Westchester County parkland. Over six miles of trails offer unparalleled views of the reservoir and surrounding hills and link to the North County Trailway.  The Teatown-Kitchawan Trail, known as the TKT, is a new 6.5-mile hiking trail that links several parks and trails: Westchester County’s North County Trailway, Kitchawan Preserve and John E. Hand Park at Bald Mountain in Yorktown, and Croton Gorge in the Town of Cortlandt. The trail also connects with the New York State-owned Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway, and with Teatown Lake Reservation and its system of 15 miles of trails, and traverses lands controlled by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection.  Map of the Trail.  More information.
