Former Estate of Movie Producer Adolph Zukor Now Kennedy Dells County Park
Kennedy Dells County Park, a 179-acre property in New City, New York, was once the estate of renowned movie producer Adolph Zukor. In the early part of the 20th century, New City was envisioned as a potential 'Hollywood of the East.' The park features flat, rolling topography, with a heavily wooded western portion and a scenic creek running along its western boundary, paralleled by a trail. The park offers an extensive trail system, which can be complex for new visitors, and includes areas like a pine grove and wetlands. Visitors are advised to photograph the trail map before exploring. The park is a popular spot for birdwatching and dog walking, with amenities including seasonal restrooms and uneven trails with exposed roots. There are no fees to enter the park, and early morning visits are recommended for a quieter birding experience.
