==Parks and preserves== Lewisboro is rich in natural areas and is a component of the biotic corridor. Two Westchester County Parks are on Lewisboro's borders, and there are six town parks and several community preserves. *'''Ward Pound Ridge Reservation''' is Westchester County's largest ({{convert|4,700|acre|km2|adj=on}}) park. In addition to many trails, there are camping facilities and a Trailside Museum. The main entrance is on Route 121 in Cross River. *'''Mountain Lakes Camp''' is a county park on the northern border of Lewisboro, with beautiful ponds and trails in the forest. The most popular trail leads to "Look Out Point", which is perched on top of a cliff overlooking Lake Waccabuc, Lake Oscaleta and Lake Rippowam. *'''Onatru Farm''' on Elmwood Road is one of Lewisboro's preëminent parks and includes tennis facilities and playing fields as well as some town offices. This area also includes some walking trails. *The '''Lewisboro Town Park''' on Route 35 contains tennis courts, the town pool, ball fields, and outdoor basketball courts. When ice skating is available in winter, a sign is posted. There are also some walking trails in this park that connect to the adjacent Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. From the late 1960s to early 1980s there was a ski tow with two beginner trails, funded and given to the town by the local [[Lions Clubs International|Lion's Club]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lewisboro Tow |url=https://www.nelsap.org/ny/lewisboro.html |access-date=May 8, 2022 |website=www.nelsap.org}}</ref> *The '''Leon Levy Preserve''' was acquired by the town in 2006 as open space. While some trails exist in this {{convert|370|acre|km2|adj=on}} parcel, as of 2008 additional horse and hiking trails are under development and parking is still limited. *The '''Brownell Preserve''' is {{convert|118|acre|km2}} of forested land given to the town. It has a {{convert|2|mi|km|adj=on}} trail that loops past an overlook of Lake Katonah. *The '''Old Field Preserve''' was obtained in 2003, and contains about {{convert|100|acre|km2}} of woods, wetlands, and sizable old fields (thus, the name). The meadows will be preserved to support the birds and animals that are dependent upon this increasingly rare habitat. * '''Fox Valley Park''' has a variety of sports facilities for the town, including very busy soccer fields, ball fields, and tennis courts.
