Rockefeller Fridays with 'Kids Unplugged'

Join us this fall for Rockefeller Fridays, a series of after school hikes in the beautiful Rockefeller State Park Preserve on the first and third Fridays of the month. All hikes will begin at 4:oo p.m. and usually last about an hour.

This Friday's hike will be at Pocantico River Trail, Rockefeller Preserve, Sleepy Hollow.

Meeting Place: At the trail head along Sleepy Hollow Road

Directions: Heading west on Bedford Road (448) turn left on Sleepy Hollow Road. Go through the stop sign and continue 1/2 mile to the trail head. There is a white farmhouse next to the entrance gate.

Parking is all along Sleepy Hollow Road. If you park near the trail, try to park nose-in rather than parallel to leave space for other vehicles. Parking is limited--carpool if possible.

Details: This is a beautiful trail along the Pocantico River and is one of our favorites! It's a mostly flat, wide trail--strollers are fine here, but jog strollers are best. BYO snacks and water.

Note: Use caution when walking with kids to the trail. The trail head is on a blind curve and folks tend to whiz around the bend. Stay near the boulders as you walk to the start of the trail.

*All hikes will leave 10 minutes after designated meeting time and are a suggested donation of $5 per family.
