Hook Creek Park: Queens, NYC

Along the edge of the creek, waterside pathways wind through an area frequented by local waterfowl. While some visit for a quick workday escape, others gather to watch aircraft take off and land along JFK's runway 31R. The park also features canoe-friendly waters and activities where visitors can learn about the local environment. When evening arrives, the open horizon over the water draws people to stop and take photos of the view.
