The Bedford Oak is one of those rare living landmarks that quietly connects the past to the present. Estimated to be over 500 years old, this massive white oak has stood through centuries of change in Bedford, from Native American times to the Revolutionary War and beyond. Locals have always held it in high regard, and when development threatened its space in the 1970s, the community stepped up to save it. Thanks to their efforts, the tree and the land around it are now protected and cared for.

This well-maintained dirt road is great for biking, especially int he autumn when the fall leaves transform the trail. The road takes you right up to the water with excellent views of the Housatonic River.

This is a tiny but highly scenic little park. The roads that circumnavigate Lake Warmaug are partially shaded and go right up to the water's edge, and the views out across the water are especially beautiful in the autumn. There is also camping, hiking, and kayaking here, as well as a couple small beaches for swimming.

Sal J. Prezioso Mountain Lakes Park is Westchester’s northernmost county park and spans 1,082 acres of rugged landscape and native hardwood forest. With five lakes and a stunning overlook, the park is a premier destination for outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and fishing, and ice skating, snow-shoeing, and cross-country skiing in the winter. During summer, the park hosts Camp Morty, offering a traditional camp experience for underprivileged children in Westchester. It is also a popular spot for weddings and other events with a spacious lodge and dining hall. The park is open year-round, from dawn to dusk and leashed dogs are allowed. While a county park pass is not required, camping fees apply. Most of the trails here are for hiking, but the main road (Mountain Lakes Camp Road, which turns into a gravel road named Pine Lake Road) through the park is a popular, challenging climb through this scenic area.

You can't ride bikes on the trails, but a nice spot for lunch (byo) when rambling in the CT/NY liminal zone. Lock your bike (or drive there) for a short but sweet hike.

This lovely smooth, paved road goes through Ward Pound Ridge Reservation over rolling hills. This is an especially pretty road to ride in the fall as the leaves change from green to orange, yellow, and red.

This small lake-side park comes equipped with picnic benches and plenty of trees to provide shade on a summers day. A great spot to take a break.

With its spring in Massachusetts the Housatonic River flows for 149 miles to southern Connecticut into Long Island Sound. The Appalachian Trail follows the river from the covered wooden Bulls Bridge to Falls Village. The river is also a popular whitewater paddling destination with mostly Class I to Class III rapids.
