Croton Dam and Croton Gorge Park in Westchester County, New York, 39 miles north of Manhattan
Croton Dam - Croton-on-Hudson, NY [4K]
The Croton Dam forms the Croton Reservoir, a part of New York City's water supply. It's the largest hand-hewn stone structure in the U.S. and the third in the world, and is located in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, about 20 miles north of New York City.
There are other videos of the Croton Dam, but many of them contain music and narration. I wanted to make a video just containing the natural sounds and sights of the dam and surrounding area. It's a beautiful and wondrous place.

Croton on Hudson, Croton Gorge Park, New Croton Dam | 4K Bike Ride
We went to the Croton on Hudson Dam. We parked at the Croton Gorge Park and the entrance fee was $10. They didn't accept NY Empire Pass unfortunately. The park was well maintained. We had to use the road outside of the park to ride our bicycles, but there were two foot paths to reach the top of the dam. The Croton Dam Road is extended all the way to the Gate House Bridge, and it is very nice ride!

From Wikipedia:
The New Croton Dam (also known as Cornell Dam) is a dam forming the New Croton Reservoir, both parts of the New York City water supply system. It stretches across the Croton River near Croton-on-Hudson, New York.
Construction began in 1892 and was completed in 1906. Designed by Alphonse Fteley (1837–1903), the masonry dam is 266 feet broad at its base and 297 feet high from base to crest. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest dam in the world. It impounds up to 19 billion US gallons of water, a small fraction of the New York City water system's total storage capacity of 580 billion US gallons.
