Bear Spring Mountain Wildlife Management Area Delaware County, New York This area is unique in that it is never closed to day-use equestrians (e.g. by those who go and ride and do not stay overnight); you may ride there any day of the year. There are no set hours; you may arrive as early and stay as late as you dare. And best of all, there is no charge for day use of the trails. Photo by Kristin DiMartino, Pine Bush, NY |

The Mohonk Preserve and Mohonk Mountain House Ulster County, New York The Mohonk Mountain House is a National Historic Landmark. It’s a fabulous, private, for-profit resort operation adjacent to the Mohonk Preserve. The Resort maintains 2,200 acres of land, which you may visit (excluding the beach, interior and porches of the Mountain House). Aside from the 25 miles of carriage roads, (with another 20-25 over at the adjacent Mohonk Preserve) there are formal gardens, a Victorian maze, greenhouses, and other activities. The Barn Museum, with a collection of old tools, carriages, and sleighs, will be interesting for horsemen.

Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Westchester County, New York Pocantico Hills was the Rockefeller family’s country retreat from New York City. They began buying land on the Hudson River near Tarrytown in 1893. John D. Rockefeller, Sr. laid out the early roads, but it was his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who designed the majority of the carriage roads we ride today. Photo by Jessica DiMartino, Pine Bush, NY |
