Demarest‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 호수

The Oradell Reservoir is an important source of clean drinking water to around 750,000 people. Built up over the early 1900s and completed in 1923, it’s now protected as a Category 1 water source, meaning it’s some of the purest in the state. It is a critical part of the region’s infrastructure and a reminder of how closely nature and community are connected.

This path is super beautiful and away from the cars. It is probably the best bike path in the Bronx. It will take you to the Empire State Trail and you can go all the way to Canada.

Nice quiet flat ride!

This peaceful pond is surrounded by trees, making it a lovely spot to take a break off of the bike. There's often fishermen you could watch, or simply look out for the local wildlife.

The road runs directly next to Lake Tappan, giving excellent views. Lake Tappan, a reservoir formed by the Tappan Dam on the Hackensack River, spans the boundary of New Jersey and New York. Within New Jersey, it flows through River Vale and Old Tappan in Bergen County, extending into Orangetown in Rockland County, New York, to the north.

The drive here is worth it just to enjoy the view over the dreamy lake to the old stone house (today a restaurant). And you get the well-developed trail to the north (theoretically to Albany).

Small lake, not as overgrown as the other lakes in the area. There is a fine restaurant on the shore. Visiting in cycling gear will not go down well...

In the middle of nowhere, this small pond appears and invites you to take a break. You can watch the fishermen...
