(Entering its seventh year, the tri-state area's biggest, most popular, and most exciting Halloween event expands in 2011 to a whopping 20 nights of family-friendly fun featuring more than 4,000 individually hand-carved, illuminated Jack O'Lanterns. Visitors meander through a woodsy, darkened, riverside landscape and discover a breathtaking, artistic display: dinosaurs, snakes, giant spider webs, ghosts, fish, mushrooms, flowers, clowns...all made of jack o'lanterns! Enhanced by professional lighting and steeped in spooky music and sound effects, this must-see event is a delight for all senses. There is simply NOTHING else like it! )

The campgrounds
Croton Point Park is a 508-acre park situated on a peninsula on the east shore of the Hudson River. This park offers year-round events and activities and has facilities for camping, hiking and swimming.
The park, rich in natural and human history, is also the site of historic wine cellars that are thought of be the oldest in New York State and the
Croton Point Nature Center, which offers a year-round schedule of interpretive programs.
The oldest oyster shell middens on the North Atlantic Coast uncovered by archeologists on Croton Point confirm that the peninsula was inhabited by Native Americans as early as 7,000 years ago. Croton is in fact named for the Indian sachem, Kenoten, which means ‘wild wind.” In the 17th century, Indians of the Kitchawank tribe on the Wappinger Confederacy occupied a large fortified village on the high flat at the neck of Croton Point, which they called Navish. This was one of the most ancient and formidable Indian fortresses south of the Hudson Highlands.
