The park is the former property of the Rockefeller family, who since 1983, have been slowly donating the land to New York State to be preserved and safeguarded. The preserve offers 45 miles of scenic carriage roads that were originally used for carriage driving, but are now are designated as multipurpose trails, although horses are still common sights along the trail. Just make sure to be on the lookout for horse poop while walking.

Built along the railbed of the former Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad, the trailway provided rail service in the late 19th century and early 20th century from the Bronx to Putnam County. Nowadays, it is a 22.1 mi (35.6 km) paved, multi-use path that spans from Eastview to the Putnam County border, and provides access to many of Westchester's parks, preserves, and village downtowns. In some sections of the trail, the railbed is still visible. Free parking at the Pleasantville entrance.
