Its about 40 Miles north of the City

Ive driven lots of times on the Taconic across the Croton Reservoir and never knew there was on a dam on it. You can see one of the Bridges on the Taconic from the top of the Dam. The waterfall was actually quite nice and close to NYC

You can combine Croton with Boscobel House about 25 minutes away

The New Croton Dam is the largest stone structure built since the days of the pyramids. It replaced the Old Croton Dam that still stands submerged in the reservoir. At the time the old dam and aqueduct were built in the 1840s, roaches started to be a problem in NYC. Some imagined that these had come down the aqueduct and were thus called "Croton bugs."
