点评:I visited the New Croton Dam at Croton Gorge Park in June for the second time and I appreciated it even more than I did the first time, it is an impressive combination of a monumental man-made structure and the raw power of nature. Watching the water rush from the reservoir through the massive spillway openings with varying degrees of force while also cascading vertically down into the gorge is a remarkable sight, the dam and surrounding landscape make this a memorable place to experience in person.
This is a great place to visit for people of all ages and a suitable destination for families, weather permitting, the park offers a good opportunity to enjoy a picnic, walk around and take in the scenery, it is also a good place for children to see the scale of the dam and the force of the moving water first hand, photos and videos can give a person a good idea of what to expect but there is no substitute for seeing the dam spillway and the surrounding landscape in person. I recommend New Croton Dam and Croton Gorge Park to anyone who enjoys scenic walks, picnics, and seeing an impressive piece of engineering alongside the natural landscape. There is a parking lot on the premises at 350 Yorktown Road (Route 129).

无论年龄大小,任何人都能在这里获得美好的体验。在天气允许的情况下,这里是家庭出游的理想目的地——人们可以野餐、散步并欣赏沿途风景。对于孩子们来说,这里也是亲眼目睹水坝的宏伟规模以及水流力量的绝佳场所。照片和视频虽然能让人对实际情况有个大致了解,但亲临现场观看大坝溢洪道及周边的自然景观才是无可替代的体验。我向所有喜欢散步、野餐,以及欣赏宏伟工程与自然风光相融之美的人们推荐新克罗顿大坝和克罗顿峡谷公园。公园内的约克敦路350号(129号公路旁)设有停车场。
