"trails feel like actual woods, lake is peaceful"
1 train to the last stop drops you right there
Spot turtles, chipmunks, and rabbits by the lake

A thousand acres of actual forest hiding at the end of the 1 train. Van Cortlandt's trails wind through native woods and wetlands past the Bronx's oldest building, with a lake, legendary cross-country course, and the nation's first public golf links along the way.
