Reviews of Lenoir Preserve

John Sennett

Cool little park with some old stone structures. We walked very slowly on every trail and were done in about an hour and a half. Dog friendly.

Carol Vinzant

Amazing nature center with trails, interesting classes amd gorgeous view. Tons of birds at feeders and huge trees. Went to wonderful maple syrup class.

This is a very large 40-acre nature preserve along the Hudson River. The preserve is mostly woodlands and there are not many well defined trails, so it is a somewhat difficult walk, and you need to watch your step, especially since many areas are sloped. The park had very few hikers when I was there so it can be intimidating from a personal safety standpoint. The highlight of the preserve is the Wightman Mansion, one of two estate homes on the property. Unfortunately, you can't go into these magnificent properties since Westchester County which owns the property is currently attempting to renovate the mansions. The grounds around the estates are beautiful and overlook the Hudson River so it is a beautiful park to visit in warm weather. Once the estate homes are renovating this will be a wonderful place to visit.

Went here today what a nice place in Yonkers saw deer as well

Dani Lewis

It was a pretty but desolate park. We did see a deer but we were also attacked by birds while walking on the paved trail. It was cool until the birds incident. Some cool stone structures there and also looks like an old plantation house is there also. It was closed when we visited im not sure if it is abandoned or part of the park but it was cool to look at. There are some picnic tables there and many benches to enjoy the silence and nature

G. M.

Lovely preserve. Lots to explore and old ruins of a mansion in the back. Worth exploring

Gina

I've always liked coming to Lenore and visiting the butterfly garden, but unfortunately it looks like they are under construction and the garden is not there. Hopefully, in a couple of months they will be finished. Great for bird watching and for leisurely strolls on the paved path. If you bring your dog, please keep him on a leash.

Robert Carter

Peaceful. Short distance from Untemeyer Park. Try to see both in one day if possible. Mansion is going through a renovation but still a great place to enjoy nature especially if you're a bird lover. You may even see some deer on occasion. A picnic table close to the parking lot to enjoy lunch and benches to rest. Great place if you are looking for a quiet spot especially during the week.

Christine Conetta

Fantastic place to go for a walk alone or with family, most paths are stroller friendly as well.

Ahmed Allam

I went on Sunday afternoon and there were no one but a couple walking around as if the whole park was for us. It was very quiet and peaceful.

Hilary Callahan

Part of Westchester County Parks. Empty, which was both nice but a little creepy and sad. Stop by. It is pretty and has quite interesting history.

Charlotte Thompson

This is definitely a cute hidden oasis. We had a great time walking around the grounds. It was simple and not a whole lot going on which is what we liked about it. Especially as the leaves were starting to change.

Susana Mosiello

Nice walking trail. Great views

Sandy C.

Lovely place to enjoy nature which connects to the Old Croton Aqueduct. You will see deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional large rodent. It is unfortunate that a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us. This is clearly a leashed dog only park. However, I've seen people with reactive or aggressive dogs off leash here like it's some kind of dog park. I've also witnessed a loose dog chasing deer through the forest. My LEASHED dog and I have been accosted on numerous occasion by loose dogs. Seriously, this is a nature PRESERVE! Respect where you are.

John Hufnagel

Great short trails, a "Butterfly Garden" all having a breath-taking view of the Palisades and Hudson River. Benches line the walkways to allow peaceful contemplation while wooded paths bring you back to nature.

Fenicia Mora

One of the most beautiful natural space for Silvestre birds 🐦. Impressive human care. …

Juan Ortiz

Marco Alexandre Jr.

Very nice n quiet walk...peaceful.

ana J pineda

Amazing park. I leave in Yonkers for so many year and never new about this park. It beautiful and clean

Kristopher Sevill

Great place to take a walk, relax, & to enjoy nature. It's so peaceful here. We were here on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon & barely anybody here. The mansion is beautiful, unfortunately it is not open for public. The views are spectacular! There is a nature center & butterfly garden inside. The nature center isn't open daily but you can always use the ground daily from dawn to dusk all year long. Admission is free & it is located minutes away from the Saw Mill Parkway. If you want to get away from the busy city life or if you love to enjoy nature, this place is definitely worth visiting. It's only about half an hour to 45 minutes drive from Manhattan.

Tzemah Yoreh

A quiet and beautiful nature preserve 10 minutes outside the city. They have summer camps and even a preschool. Our kids counted butterflies in the butterfly garden and birds and had lots of fun. We often take the kids to run around there in the weekend, and they love it.

Leroy Wood

Beautiful place...very quiet and great place to clear your head

Justin Rawson

Very nice escape during pandemic times. Paved and wooded paths, butterfly garden, not too busy. Nature center not open now, but it's a plus when it's open. I think there should be events to raise money for the mansion, or open it as a restaurant/ event space. Lots of potential

Shauna Angel Blue (Shauna of the Star)

I love this place because hardly anyone goes, so it is quiet, peaceful and open

ymcebs

A nice park close to the Hudson River. There was walking trails, and a butterfly garden, although we didn't see any butterflies during our visit in mid-September.

David Unger

Hidden gem of a park located in North Yonkers. I lived a mile away for 20 years, and recently discovered it.

Jonas Klink

Beautiful, easy walk that's family/stroller friendly.

Jim Blinn

We're went in the winter so the grounds were fine for a walk but some of the attractions like the butterfly garden are dormant at this time of year. Nonetheless the grounds offer a nice view of the Hudson river with the trees bare of leaves.

Lucinka T.

Nature walk after lunch? Sure! Amongst deer at sunset? Sure!

Alan May

Beautiful nature area within the City of Yonkers. You can see many types of birds, butterflies, deer, other animals. Safe, easy to walk.

Sandra A

Beautiful grounds. Well maintained paths, clearly marked. Nature and beauty surrounded us. Even though it was a misty foggy day we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Looking forward to our return.

Dara Pinkston

Beautiful park..I look forward to visiting when the house or nature center is open. It looks like it needs some ground maintenance done. Trees down and grass needs to be trimmed especially in Butterfly Garden.

J L

One of my family's favorite hangouts when the weather is good. Lot's of changes. Sad to see some of the trees and our favorite berry bushes have been removed. Please help keep this gem clean when you visit.

Erin Finnegan

Absolutely beautiful!! Love coming to Lenoir Preserve - spring, summer and fall - you can’t go wrong. Kudos to the groundskeepers❣️

John Motika

Brought back memories of going there as a kid , my sister's friend , her father was a care taker for Andrus , loved going the when I was young

Michael Adler

Small but beautiful and peaceful spot. Limited river views due to trees but plenty of open space and trails. Good for birdwatching.

Kevin Phipps

Nice bit of walking space in Yonkers. They often host educational events for kids of all ages. My daughter loved the birds of prey event last year.

Jared Price

This is a beautiful park that overlooks the Hudson River. I uploaded some drone photos. Great place to take your kids for a walk. I look forward to visiting again.

Cee Wood

A small park, great place to get away and relax. Has a lovely butterfly garden, and terraces with stair and a winding path leading down to the old Croton Aqueduct.

Nice place for a walk, great views. Aim for the most northern entrance instead of the smaller driveways if you want to be by the nature center.

Be carful at the bird feeder. I hope Lenoir Preserve management could rasie it higher to avoid any more tweety friend's being lunch to Sylvester.

It's a beautiful well maintained little park. There is a butterfly garden which I'm sure will be nice in the warmer weather (we were there in February). There are also a couple of old homes/mansions but you can only look at them for me outside. It is however, quite small. There is only one trail to walk on and it's less than a mile. Other than a preschool class who are gathered in a little grassy area, they were very few people there on a Monday afternoon. Note: In searching the web before going, I had seen that dogs were not allowed. However that is incorrect. Dogs are allowed as long as they are on leash, they even have stations at the entrance with poop bags.

Miguel Hernandez

Beautiful place to escape from the daily routine excellent to take the whole family access is free but if you want you can leave a donation of course it is not mandatory
