Marsh Sanctuary — Attraction in Village/Town of Mount Kisco

It was a great place! The entry along Bedford is small - I would say about 4 cars can fit at any one time. We went along a gravel path behind the Marsh Sanctuary sign. A good distance up the hill, I met a lady with a cat who informed me that the direction I was heading was not part of the Sanctuary 🙈🙉🙊. It was a private road that led to a house on the hill.

There is also a large vegetable garden of some sort, but the gate was locked. The climb to the top of the hill was steep, but there were some decent views at the top that will be obstructed when the leaves fill in. This is a great place for a nature stroll and to just enjoy some nature for a bit. Could make a good spot for...

So first of all this is not the right address or location for the trailhead. There is a sign here that says Marsh Sanctuary and a little house with maps etc., but the real trailhead is on the other side, I'm not actually sure which road it is. This side runs through a backyard kind of, and this map makes it appear that the trail is the neighbor's semi-abandoned driveway. Either way though, lovely little, obscure trail, with a pond, benches, lanterns, and a little...
