I know the Sam's club there has a huge parking lot where you might get away with parking. I was wondering about the parking lots in VanCortland park. Are those OK to use for the trail? There are some by the golf course, and another across moshlu parkway by the ball fields looking at a map. For the NC trail we usually park at the small lot in Millwood, or the one off the SawMill in Eastview. The lot in Eastview is only about 1 1/2 miles from the start in Elmsford. If you do start that far south there is still construction going on along the shoulder where the path runs along Rt 100

The ones at Warehouse Ln are still there but it almost feels like your parking in that business parking lot. But with that large parking lot for Sam's Club no problem.
For Van Cortlandt there are 2 lots before the Golf house that are free and use-able

I'm thinking of using the Eastview lot. That's the one adjacent to what they used to call "Tarrytown Lakes," right?

The Eastview lot is on the main NCT (arguably SCT/NCT junction) just south of the fork that goes to the lakes. The first of the lakes is across the main road, the next and the actual parking lot for the lakes are most of a mile west of the NCT along the lakes spur.

When driving north from NYC on the Sawmill as you get off exit 23 take the first right turn into the parking lot that is right along the trail.If you shold somehow miss it you can turn left at the light and there is another parking lot just past the parkway on your right.

Thanks, all. Unfortunately, one of the employees in my department just tested positive for you-know-what and several workers who were close to him all last week have been quarantined. This means we are operating with a skeleton crew for the time being, and I don't know if I will be able to take days off to ride this week.
