Old Croton Aqueduct Trail The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail straddles the aqueduct built during the 1830s and 40s. The City's first extensive water supply system, it served a population that had grown exponentially to over 330,000 and a people who had faced the hardships of epidemic disease and disastrous fires. Designed by Engineer John B. Jervis, the tunnel first opened in 1842 and was used until 1897, when an adjacent one replaced it. In 1974, the trail was placed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. An inspiring walk, the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail introduces park visitors to the area's geology and some of the most unique forests in New York City, featuring majestic tulip trees, sugar maples, and American sycamores. |
