nice vid,but,well,check your figures about height,width,etc.

We have mostly lived in Westchester most of our lives. I grew up in Hartsdale and area around White Plains too Later my wife and I also lived in Croton On Hudson and now mostly in Cortland Manor and Peekskill. It is like the area very scenic, close to the Hudson River, and NYC, too. 😊

There is a very good story on the original building of the dam. There was a village built with all the immigrants that were used to build the dam, very harsh living for the immigrants that worked on the dam.

Yeah. After 9/11, both Kensico and Croton Dams were forbidden to road traffic for security reasons. I used to traverse Kensico Dam regularly in the early 1980s.

Very informative video, and it is nice to see what the neighborhood looks like in the bayside area. It is also good to see that you’re active doing something!

Looks so pretty makes me want to move there.

It took you this long to upload ?

I was there in April 2022. I took the ferry ⛴ from New London Ct. to Orient Point NY. The Montauk Lighthouse is my favorite part of Montauk.

I discovered the Croton Dam exists just a few years ago when someone posted pix on Instagram.

Native Americans consider a place where 2 rivers meet to be Sacred Ground! Those 3 rivers are amazing! IMHO! 💛🖤💛🖤💛Pittsburgh was built by many immigrants and STRONG UNIONS! United Steel Workers Union, United Mine Workers Union and American Federation of Teachers Union AFL-CIO! 🤗🥰🤗

Marylander here! MD born , Pittsburgh suburb raised in the 1960/70's! Pittsburgh is definitely "Some Place SPECIAL! " 🤗🥰🤗💛🖤💛🖤🖤GO STEELERS ,PENGUINS and PIRATES! 🏈🏒⚾️

beautiful place

Thank you for your time.

I went there as a kid in the Late 60s They had an ice skating Rink and you think this is beautiful just imagine the 60s people dressed really nice like "The Mad Men" era and snow and skating It stuck in my head since then I recently went up there to visit again with my wife she was really impressed. But, They Croton could do so much more in the flat ground right in front of the Damn

I grew up near here but don't remember ever visiting it. What a great video. What great engineers Westchester County had back then. Beauty was part of their design.

Wow!!! The last time I was here was about 1996, it was so nice then when I first visited and still is, thank you!

After the first reservoir was constructed (Old Croton Reservoir) the next one to built was Boyd's Corners in Putnam County which is north of Westchester County.

NYC DEP will never allow hydropower because it could impact the quality of the water needed to generate enough power to make it feasible. NYC and Syracuse are the only municipal water systems with a waiver to not to filter their system.

The Black Water District is the agency that controls the infiltration of salt water up the Hudson. They control Sacandaga Reservoir and release water to keep salt from getting into Westchester water supply and Newburgh and Kingston One year we actually had to drain the reservoir because of a drought. It was the lowest Sacandaga Reservoir had been since it was built. Fun fact, the Pike in Sacandaga Reservoir are as big as sharks and bite people's legs Seriously, look it up on the Times Union Largest Pike known live in Sacandaga Reservoir Over 12 feet long

We did a documentary on the NYC watershed It is MASSIVE They suck the entire Schoharie Creek and Adirondack watershed and send it through a tunnel under the Catskills and into the Ashokan Reservoir. The pipes are massive from the Ashokan and sends it under the Hudson River and into this area and down under the Sawmill. There are 3 tunnels that bring water to NYC They are bigger than subway tunnels. Many of the remains of the NYC reservoirs still exist in Manhattan Central Park. There are no pumps Everything is gravity fed. True engineering

Always interesting to see that these old public works were not just designed for their specific function, but with aesthetic quality also.

Massive amount of cut stone granite I presume. Brave are the people who would conceived and execute such a grand project so long ago. It would be hard pressed to duplicate in todays world. @6:49 I believe those are not called windows but instead called gates, flood gates. @11:30 that is the spillway. In time of low water levels they could direct water out only the gates so inspection or repairs of the spillway could be preformed. Really good video thanks for making it.

its man made so not as cool as nature, but pretty cool

Have you been to Montauk before? What’s your favorite attraction or activity in the area?

Have you visited Nintendo New York? Have you purchased anything from here? Which Nintendo consoles do you own? What is/are your favorite(s) Nintendo series?

Have you visited Croton Gorge Park?

Have you visited Pittsburgh? What is your favorite attraction?

That's New York for you, ten bucks to park, maybe tey balancing your budget you greedy bastards, that's the PRNY, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NEW YORK.

Thanks for sharing this video. I went there yesterday. And I am wondering about when "Godzilla" will come cracking down...

Nice video.The building just beyond the Throgs Neck bridge is the condominum, Cryder House.

Great video 👍🏻😎

Cool video. Here’s hoping Metroid gets more merch in Nintendo NYC. Especially with Prime 4 Beyond with a lot of Metroid characters like Sylux. It’s a great series, but frustratingly inconsistent because of low sales.

Thanks for posting this video. My father took me fishing on the piers at Robert Moses State Park on weekends way back to the early 1960s, during the late spring through the early fall. Before the causeway connecting Robert Moses to Long Island was completed, the only way to get to Robert Moses was ferry service from Captree or if you were a boat owner. The fishing was very good with flounders, blowfish, and blackfish caught in good numbers. The fishing back then was much better than it is now. Captree hasn't changed much since those days. The Captree fishing boats fished close to our location on Robert Moses, underneath or close to the causeway.

Chinese tourists are EVERYWHERE...jeez...I was just in Germany and they were all over like white on rice.

Ficou ótimo!

i would waste too much money there!

Does anyone else get why they put Nintendo world champions above the trash and recycling bins? If you guessed, "because Nintendo world champions IS recycled trash"... you win!

Nice video >:D

i’m going crabbing on saturday, thanks for sharing this! usually i don’t get as much as i used to, but it’s a fun thing to do! i also throw my leftover bait to the seagulls 😊

Gorgeous. I don't know why and how, but New York wins, hands down, with the state's steel and masonry bridges.

Did you just state that NYC gets 580 gallons of water?! That's an aquarium dude. I think you misstated your stats.

Thank you for posting. Nice video

We went there last year what a beautiful place & the history is amazing

Quite a engineering project! I had never heard of this . Thanks for the tour!

Beautiful park and water reservoir system

Nice you were able to see it in person? Really cool

Nice production, Dennis

Always a good deal when you get an organic chemistry and a bible lesson in one free video
