At first glance this amazing landmark might seem like a man made waterfall. It kind of is because it is a dam. Old Croton Dam was reportedly built roughly 100 years ago and stands at over an impressive 200 feet. This also acts as a reservoir that supplies New York City with drinking water. All of this can be found on the 97 acre park.

Croton Gorge is one of the most picturesque scenes in the Hudson Valley region of New York. It is located in Croton Park in Croton-on-Hudson. Residents of Westchester County may know and enjoy this amazing trail but it is virtually unknown to other New Yorkers who want to share its beauty. Here is a video of the waterfall.
