Croton Point Park Our Third Upstate Trip

Join us on our Third Fall Colors Photo Walk at Croton Point Park Saturday, November 14th. Meet near the Clock/info booth in Grand Central Station 10:00am for 10:31 train departure on Metro North Hudson Line (Poughkeepsie Train) to Croton-Harmon *Train Ticket Prices* *One Way Off-Peak $11.75* *One Way Senior/Disabled/Medicare $8.00* *Buy your ticket at the station ticket machines,* *ticket office or through the TrainTime app.* After a pleasant train ride along the banks of the Hudson River, we will arrive Croton-Harmon Railroad Station at 11:25 am and walk across a bridge into the Croton Point Park, a 508-acre park situated on a peninsula on the east shore of the Hudson River where we will be able to enjoy a healthy 8 mile walk and photograph the scenery and hopefully still colorful fall foliage. Join us as we explore the park and its amenities. Around 3 PM, we'll leave the park and hopefully grab a bite to eat at a nearby Italian Restaurant (optional ) before heading back to the station for the return trip to New York City *The park, rich in natural and human history, is the site of the Croton Point Nature Center.* *The oldest oyster shell middens on the North Atlantic Coast uncovered by archeologists on Croton Point confirm that the peninsula was inhabited by Native Americans as early as 7,000 years ago. Croton is in fact named for the Indian sachem, Kenoten, which means "wild wind.”
