This multi-use trail extends 11+ miles from Kensico Dam Plaza in Mount Pleasant, to Bronxville NY, right by the New York City line. According to the Westchester Parks Website, this is one of the oldest linear parks in the country. We walked the northern most two miles from the dam to just over the White Plains city line (Four miles in total out and back). This section weaves in and out of four different towns, but we didn't take any pictures in the short Mount Pleasant section. The trail runs parallel to the Bronx River Parkway, which itself runs parallel to the Bronx River. It's very urban, as the parkway is always in eye shot and ear shot. We were visiting here visiting Kensico Dam Plaza, but walked the trail first while waiting for the sun to come out. It was very overcast when we arrived, and I wanted to save the Dam for when it was brighter so the pictures would look nicer. The sun did come out while walking on this path.
This is the section of trail between the Scarsdale section and Westchester County Center. This stretch passes under a number of different graffiti tagged bridges, and the walkway gets vary narrow in places. It must be hard for the cyclists. There was a fair amount of trash on this section of trail, and some construction near the train station.

The section of this trail in White Plains connects the trail in Harrison to Saxon Woods Park in Scarsdale. The White Plains portion is probably just about a tenth of a mile or so, before reaching Harrison where the Huthchinson River Parkway intersects with Mamaroneck Avenue.
