North of Sleepy Hollow in the village of Ossining, New York, a stone bridge built for the Croton Aqueduct in 1842 spans the lovely Sing Sing Kill.

What makes this bridge particularly spectacular is that, in the early 1860s, the village constructed another stone bridge for Broadway that also spans the Sing Sing Kill, but crosses diagonally beneath the aqueduct bridge.

Know Before You Go

For the best view of the Double Arches, park at the Ossining Community Center at 95 Broadway, Ossining, and take the well-maintained concrete path down into the gorge.
