Parks and Trails

Sleepy Hollow is where Washington Irving set his Legend, and a lot of what he knew is still standing. Walk the Old Dutch Church and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where Irving is buried, tour the Hudson River estates, and find the Headless Horseman on the bridge and in bronze. When you need air, the trails and preserves start at the edge of the village.
