8/22/19 CROTON RIVER, UNIQUE AREA UPDATE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

The Croton Gorge Unique Area is sandwiched between the Croton River and the scenic path of the Old Croton Aqueduct State Historic Park....and unfortunately, it continues to suffer...the photos posted below were taken today---let it suffice to say that when possible, those documenting these events remove the trash they find.  However, it is clear from these photos that this is not always possible. The images below speak for themselves and as such, this post is closed to all comments. Click on the photos which are being provided here for documentation purposes.

Fyi --these photos are from the Unique Area past Dickies. This is the last island before Silver Lake. It is also "the last kayak spot". It has been reported that people were swimming at Mayo's and asked if they had "village i.d.'s". Let it suffice to say they did not. 

There is also a video available upon request by email.
