Croton Point Park

Home to the Croton Point Nature Center and wine cellars thought to be the oldest in New York State, this park has facilities for hiking, camping and swimming. Archaeologists have uncovered oyster shell middens that reveal that Native Americans inhabited the park peninsula as early as 7,000 years ago.
