Historic building which used to be the Eastview Pumping Station. It was built in 1897, and up until 1993, it was used to clean and move the village’s drinking water. The building is not open to visitors, but from some points on the trail, you can see into the old buildings.

Nice view of the Tarrytown Reservoir. The trail runs very close to the water, so you have a wonderful, unobstructed view across the reservoir. The path is popular with cyclists, so make sure you move to the edge if you want to stop to enjoy the great vistas.

Beautiful lake, at the eastern end there is a kayak rental in summer. A short boat trip loosens up the cycle tour and cools you down.
