Double Arched Aqueduct
Located in Westchester County, New York just a stone's throw away from the Hudson River shoreline is the Croton Aqueduct. This water system travels from the Croton Reservoir to New York City, and used to be the city's main source of freshwater. Today, the aqueduct is a pathway and maintained by The Friends Of The Old Croton Aqueduct historical group. Here in the town of Ossining, the aqueduct goes over a local road, which also goes over a small gorge. The Sing Sing Kill Greenway goes under these "double arches" and allows people to take a scenic walk through the gorge along a small stream. This stream, complete with a few small waterfalls, leads out into the Hudson River on the other side of town. Deemed "Ossining's Double Arches", it's a lovely sight to visit to appreciate old engineering and fascinating history.
