See the source of your drinking water (if you live in NYC that is!)
There is a pedestrian/bicycle path and you can fish with a DEC/DEP permit. If you are a history buff, the local legends around the construction of the reservoir are amazing.

Well defined and well traveled trail to the top of Overlook Mountain. See the ruins of an old hotel once you reach the top, and then a short hike more and you will be at the old firetower. Great views! Buddhist monastery right across the parking lot that accepts visitors.
