Cycling
The Old Croton Aqueduct was completed in 1842 to bring water from the Croton River into the Bronx. It was however quickly put out of use, as NYC's population kept growing. A New Croton Aqueduct (three times the size of the old one) was built to replace it in 1890. Today, you can follow the old aqueduct on this beautiful trail through forests and small towns.
