Blue Mountain History

Date Acquired:  1926

Acres:  1,538

Background:  Blue Mountain is primarily a passive park used for running, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, picnicking, skiing, and fishing.  The 12 mile Briarcliff-Peekskill Trailway, an unpaved trail for hiking, is accessible from the Blue Mountain trail system.  The park contains a bathhouse and Trail Lodge, as well as two historically significant comfort stations.  These comfort stations were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and are reminiscent of early 20th century National Park structures.
