Readers Choose Turkey Mountain as Best Place for Staycation

Patch readers have spoken and selected Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve in Yorktown as the best place for a staycation activity in town.

Even if you like to travel, expensive airline tickets and the price of gas today might preclude you from taking a great trip to the Caribbean, but luckily there are a lot of staycation activity options near by.

Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve's trails are great for hiking. The spacious 125-acre park has 3.4 miles of trails. A hike in Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve should include a vigorous hike to the top to enjoy the view – something the park is so popular for. You can also take a slow hike on the 1.1 miles of intertwined trails just beyond the parking lot.

In this , Turkey mountain won with 27 percent of the vote, while FDR State Park received 22 percent of the votes, and there was a tie for third place between the Chuang yen Monastery in Carmel and Muscoot Farm in Bedford.

Thanks for taking our poll, which was closed at 9 a.m. this morning. Remember to add your vote to next week's Readers' Choice feature, on great ways to fill up a picnic basket for a Memorial Day outing.
