Cranberry Lake Preserve,  is a 190-acre park operated by the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. Since 1967, the park has been a safe haven for animals and plants, including migratory birds, turtles, and dragonflies. Within the preserve are a variety of habitats including a four-acre lake, cliffs and scrubland, mixed hardwood forest, vernal pools, and a swamp. Visitors can learn about the area's human history by following the History Trail to the remains of a 19^th-century farmhouse and early 20^th-century stone-mining operation. The Nature Center offers family-oriented nature programs most weekends and houses a variety of interactive, educational displays. In July and August the park hosts a children’s ecology camp for children of grades 1-9.

Interpretive programs are available year-round to school, scout, and community groups. Programs are approximately 90 minutes long and content can be tailored to all grade and interest levels from pre-school to adult. The number of participants and program fee vary based upon the program and number of attendees. Call (914) 428-1005 for more information or to book a program.
