Croton-on-Hudson, NY
A thundering dam, a sprawling point park, and big-water Hudson views
Croton-on-Hudson sits where the Croton River meets the Hudson, a village defined by water: the dramatic New Croton Dam upstream, the wide bays and beaches of Croton Point Park, and one of the busiest commuter stations on the line. It is outdoorsy, family-friendly, and steeped in the history of the Clearwater environmental movement.
