Sal J. Prezioso Mountain Lakes Park

urts in woods
The 1,082 acre Sal J. Prezioso Mountain Lakes Park is Westchester’s northern-most county park. Acquired by the county in 1961, the park is characterized by a rugged landscape and native hardwood forests, rock outcroppings, meandering streams, beautiful views, the highest mountain in Westchester County and miles of trails. Aptly named, the park boasts five lakes and a spectacular overlook, which makes for breathtaking hiking destinations.

Mountain Lakes Park offers the total outdoor experience including camping, fishing, ice skating, hiking, nature exploration, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, picnicking and a high/low ropes challenge course.
