Pleasantville’s Rockefeller State Park Preserve offers over 1750 acres of pastoral fields and forested hills, donated to New York by the Rockefeller family in 1983. 45 miles of trails lined with crushed stone were laid out by John D. Rockefeller Sr. and his son in the early 1900’s. Historic features within the park include the rock walls that surrounded the original homestead, Rockwood Hall, and the 13 bridges spanning Gory Brook. Natural features of the preserve include the 22-acre Swan Lake, hardwood forests of maple, oak and beech trees, wetlands and streams. Over 200 species of native and migratory birds have been recorded in the area, as well as more than 100 species of bees.
