As a commuting student that grew up in Westchester my entire life, I have an advantage when it comes to adventure ideas and taking friends to cool spots.

3 Amazing Places to Visit in Westchester

In This Article:

Here's 3 (of many many more) of my absolute favorite places to visit in Westchester.

Bronx River Trail 

The Bronx River Trail, which has a few entrances throughout different towns in Westchester, is a surprisingly quiet little oasis alongside the Bronx River highway. My favorite entrance is in Scarsdale, which is next to the train station. It goes a few miles in either direction from that entrance and it's a great trail to get a safe and refreshing run in or to walk and chat with friends.

There's even a little waterfall near the Scarsdale entrance that I love to sit near and read or just relax for a bit.

Cranberry Lake Preserve

Cranberry Lake Preserve is a little hiking location in West Harrison that has a few different trails of varying levels of difficulty. There's a cliff that you can climb, a little lake that is absolutely gorgeous and so many different little ins and outs. It's a great place to take a slow hike and catch up with friends or on the more flat trails, to get a more intense jog or run in. It's one of my favorite little adventure spots in Westchester and I love taking friends there.

I've been to Cranberry Lake Preserve dozens upon dozens of times and although I may have taken the same routes multiple times, I'll never get tired of it!

Larchmont Dog Beach

I've only been to the Larchmont Dog Beach a few times, but I absolutely love the environment there. It's so much fun for the dogs because they can run around on the sand or swim and it's super fun for us humans too because we can bond over our beautiful little fluffy friends.

My dog is not very energetic and rarely shows any excitement, and when I took him to the dog beach for the first time he took a while to warm up but after a bit of acclimating, he LOVED it!!! He was smiling so big and pitter pattering around going on his own little pupventure. 12/10 recommend.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
