Description

The Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey is about 12 miles long, a half-mile wide, and encompasses 2,500 acres of wild Hudson River shorefront, uplands, and cliffs.

Within this park you will find more than 30 miles of hiking and ski trails, a boat launching ramp, a scenic riverside drive, a cliff-top Parkway and overlooks, riverfront picnic areas and playgrounds, a nature sanctuary, two boat basins, historic sites — and mile after mile of rugged woodlands and vistas just minutes from midtown Manhattan.

The Palisades Interstate Park is a National Historic Landmark and the Palisades are a National Natural Landmark.

The Long Path and Shore Trail are National Recreation Trails.

Tips

  • There are a couple different exits along the Palisades that you can access the park from
  • If you are going to go on a trail make sure to warn her before
  • Consult your Rav about possible yichud shailos on a trail
  • The Ross Dock to Englewood Boat Basin trail is a very basic trail (more like a simple walk) along the Hudson (if you like the water it's scenic)
