There is an alternative route to the main Putnam trail. If you head along the Golf Course Club house and then up bearing right under the overpass and take a hard left at the top of the turn you will end up riding along the highway (separated on the other side of a wall) for about two hundred meters and then it will head into the park. It’s part of the OCA and it does not get as wet. It’s got some steps and rocks, but not the mud. It’s a little lonely, but very pretty. You can follow the trail either out of the park and onto the OCA or it will cut back into the Putnam trail.

AFAIK.
Just curious as to are their other trails/paths in VCP that head thru the park, are bike accessible and get you into Yonkers. Google Maps shows assorted paths and I assume they are pedestrian/horses only, but you never know.
