Amazing place to watch/find birds/lizards and other wildlife. I was so lucky to see 3 baby armadillos during my visit as well. Such a great oasis for wildlife! Lots of shade for hot sunny days as well.

Unbelievable place. I went here in October and the trees were just starting to change. It was such a peaceful and tranquil experience. Hardly any people around! So many places tucked throughout the gardens where you can sit and relax and ponder life. It is the ideal place to stroll around and listen to birds and soak up the oxygen. I loved the greenhouses too! Especially the one with the succulents and cacti. They clearly care about plants and flowers here. I can't wait to come back in Spring. My happy place. Wish it was closer to home (in NYC).

I parked at Nyack beach and took the white trail to the green trail for a wonderful 6 mile hike up to the cliff ridge and down and around to finish off on the wonderful Hudson river bike path. Took me just over 3 hours. I hike it solo and it was quite easy even with wet rocks after a day of raining. Wear shoes with good traction. Does get slippery in spots.
