The Horseman's Trail is one of these. Only it's real. Running through the wooded fields and farmlands of the Rockefeller preserve, crossing the old Croton Aqueduct, stepping down through the old Sleepy Hollow cemetery and the rugged terrain of Douglas Park, through the Philipsburg Manor Restoration, the trail follows the Pocantico River watercourse for much of the way until it peters out within sight of the Hudson River. The Pocantico bends away north, skirting Devries park, running under the Palmer Avenue bridge, thence under the railroad tracks and out into the Hudson. The trail predates the trains. It sits and waits. Its journey interrupted by those same railroad tracks. Until now. The instant application provides for both a connecting trail section and signage and support facilities which will provide a pedestrian access link reconnecting the Horseman's Trail to the Hudson and an engineering and design component to aid in the siting and development of a future replacement pedestrian overpass. It also anticipates and lays the groundwork for a future mile long waterside trail section tying Kingsland Point Park and the 1883 lighthouse to the Sleepy Hollow Landing Park, the southerly terminus of lands within the Village of Sleepy Hollow. In summary the "Horseman's Trail extension" project has the following main components: • • • • • • • A riverside interpretive trail and walkway along and across the lower Pocantico River connecting the trailhead at Devries park up through woodlands to the Palmer Avenue Bridge and thence onto Kingsland Point Park (and to the historic Philipse Manor Train Station). The trail and pedestrian bridge will be fully AD compliant. Additional landscaping for Devries Park - including estuarine plantings and placement of lowland tree species such as London Plane Tree in Devries park, trailhead parking lot and along the trailway Lighting and related improvements for the now dark Lighthouse, accessed from Kingsland Point park and a major point of interest along the trailway A diagrammatic exhibit showing proposed future linkage of Kingsland Point Park along a waterside esplanade on the former GM site and adjoining lands to the Sleepy Hollow Landing A new bathroom facility building at the trail's southern terminus at Sleepy Hollow Landing Park Trail Linkage up to an expanded Barnhart Park and along the Beekman Avenue business corridor Signage and trail markers identifying points of interest and providing directional and directory signage. �• An architectural and Engineering design study locating a future new pedestrian overpass In summary, the Horseman's Trail system is a dynamic pedestrian-oriented resource which provides convenient access to a number of Sleepy Hollow's important assets. A full separate listing of the major points of interest along its way is attached as an exhibit.
