Pleasantville

This beginner-friendly loop through Rockefeller State Park Preserve offers a serene mix of scenery while meandering along the Pocantico River, crossing wooden and stone bridges, and wandering through groves of tulip trees and sycamores. The trail rolls gently through meadows of tall grasses where orioles and other songbirds can often be spotted. With wide gravel paths, benches, and picnic tables along the way, this hike is a relaxed and accessible way to take in fall colors and the park’s calm, storybook landscape.
