We did this last month. South on 9 was easy - road a little windy but good.
South of Croton, Ossining and Terrytown traffic can be awful and the short runs through town are skinny.
Your GPS will really, really want you to take 9A. Don't! Of course, we are 12'10" but if I recall correctly, one bridge is 10'9" or so. Better to suffer through the traffic if you need to take the RV south.
Croton Point Park is very nice. - Dutch_12078Explorer IIIYep, you're absolutely right... I forgot about that.

I-81 to NY-17 shouldn't present any problems.
Ovid, NY to Croton Point Park, NY
This route is a no go.
You cannot travel through Harriman State Park to the Bear Mountain Bridge with a trailer.
Need to take New York State Thruway south after 17.

You need to cross the Hudson at the Tappan Zee Bridge and then head north on route 9.
Or you could catch 84 and cross at Newburgh and then come south on 9 (I have never been that route with the camper so not so sure...but 9 is a major roadway)
I live just 45 miles from Croton Point but on the other side of the river.... Anything I can help with, just ask. - Dutch_12078Explorer III
