Little Red Lighthouse Puts the Hudson at Your Feet
Follow the Hudson River Greenway to a red beacon dwarfed by the George Washington Bridge.
🔭 Look Beneath the Bridge
Manhattan has a different scale down here. The Little Red Lighthouse stands directly beneath the George Washington Bridge, a small red beacon beside an enormous sweep of steel. Follow the Hudson River Greenway through Fort Washington Park and make the shoreline your destination.
At the base, the river opens toward the New Jersey Palisades. The contrast is the draw, red walls, bridge girders and water stretching past the rocky edge. Leave room to linger over the view. For another Upper Manhattan wander, keep Fort Tryon Park and Inwood Hill Park on your list, or swap the waterfront for the medieval galleries at The Met Cloisters.
