Inwood Hill Park
4.7 (3,576)park
Manhattan’s last natural forest features hilly wooded trails and views across the Hudson River to the NJ Palisades.
Description




Three distinct trails lead past old-growth trees and caves, where walkers occasionally spot wildlife like bald eagles. The high points open up to views of the Henry Hudson Bridge from Overlook Meadow before sloping down toward a dog run by the salt marsh and a long riverfront.
Along the flatter edges, the grounds feature sports courts, ball fields, and playgrounds. Traffic noise from the Henry Hudson Parkway cuts through a few spots, but the paths stay active with local runners and families looking for room to spread out.
