th.e shores of tlie Croton Reservoir to the road leading north to 

 Yorktown Heights and Mohansic Park. 



Mohansic Park 



Mohansic Park has an area of approximately 1,100 acres and 

 includes Mohansic Lake, over one mile in length. The park 

 area was acquired by the State of New York for institutional 

 purposes, which institutions were objected to because of the 

 situation on New York City' s watershed. Last year by authori- 

 zation of the legislature this area was turned over to the West- 

 chester County Park Commission, upon condition that it be 

 developed and maintained as a park for the use of all of the 

 people of the state. First attention is being given to the de- 

 velopment of picnicking and camping facilities. Mohansic 

 Park will be a convenient and popular tarrying place along the 

 Grand Circuit. 



Bear Mountain Hiidson Fiver Bridge 



The Bear Mountain Hudson River Bridge Company was 

 granted a charter by the Legislature in 1922. The bridge will 

 cross the Hudson from Anthony's Nose to Bear Mountain Park 

 near Bear Mountain Inn and both the bridge and its approaches 

 leading from the Albany Post Road will be built by private 

 capital. 



Bear Mountain Park 



The Palisades Interstate Park system is too well known to 

 require extended mention here and is also referred to elsewhere 

 in this report. Its vast areas and facilities will be made more 

 easily accessible upon the completion of the improvements herein 

 described.
