Montrose Point State Forest

Welcome to Montrose Point State Forest. This small forest is managed by both the New York Department of Environmental Conservation as well as the Westchester County Parks. This land is the site of an old brick factory in a region where many raw materials used in brick making were mined. Today one can hike the trail to brick beach to see hundreds of discarded bricks. Wildlife: Montrose Point State Forest helps protect the home of numerous wild animals including deer, squirrels, wild turkeys, and tree frogs. Please treat their home with respect. Come on out and explore.
