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.

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)
