A secluded, majestic haven on the north tip of Manhattan. There are not many lush, unadorned parks like this, places not overcrowded, places where the hiker can wander and explore. Expect a steep elevation, but the exploring is not hard if you're reasonably fit. Springtime ensconces the park in an emerald wonderland, leaves erupting from wispy tree branches and tiny plants blowing in the hearty breeze. If you want to be apart from the rush of the city, come here and feel the transcendent beauty of solitude among a vibrant world of life.

Great park to visit at the beginning of November to see fall colors. On the plus side it is the last natural forest with salt marsh preserved in Manhattan and easy to get to from the metro stop. On the minus side it is in Manhattan so you may hear city noise and sometimes sport games going on which break illusions n if being in forrest ... Trails are very easy to walk and very well maintained.

This is the only natural forest in Manhattan. Some of the trees are at least 100 years old. The forest contains mature red oak and some of the largest tulip trees in the New York City. Overlook Meadow has great views of the Hudson River. Don’t miss the Clove and the Rock Formations. I posted a second map with a recommended route (purple trail) that offers good views and an immersive experience. Sections of the red trail next to the road were loud and there wasn’t much to see there anyway!

Part of the NYC park system, located at most Northern tip of the Manhattan Island, family friendly, yet still you can feel some last wilderness and the history of the land. There is a BBQ area at peninsula, if you bring BBQ set. There are many benches, picnic tables. The salt marsh is the great feature. You can enjoy trek on the hill finding quite a history of the Manhattan island.

It's not just a city park, it is a real FOREST! And it's so remind me the forest from my home town where I was born. Wild and beautiful!

A very beautiful park. I went with my friend on a saturday. The park is huge, I saw alot of people walking their dogs, babies in strollers, joggers, photographers, and random folks. Park is by the water front, I think the Hudson. I saw train tracks too. At a point if we continued their would be more trails to explore.

Great place to relax 😌and enjoy nature. Spacious park great for walk and very sinac and spectacular view of the nature🌲🌳🌿. Peacfull and lot sports you can do like running, walking ⚾️ baseball ⚽️ soccer for all ages. It is a dog friendly park 🐕. See the photos and enjoy the nature view Overall beatifull park and highly recommended to come 👌 👍

Awesome hiking and mountain biking trails, basketball, baseball and tennis courts. I recommend visiting for views of the Hudson River, check out Overlook Meadow. There are different hiking routes and trees are marked in color corresponding to the routes. Nevertheless its easy to get loss. This parks feels like an escape from the city. You can access the Henry Hudson bridge North of the Park which connects Inwood in Manhattan to Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx. The bridge charges a toll via car but the park entrance is free and accessible to cyclist and pedestrian. Note there are steps at the exit on the Bronx side of the bridge.

Lovely park, this place is really nice to visit in the fall, the colors are just magnificent. There are also some cool rocks and caves to scramble on and explore!

a great place for walking and birding. spent the whole evening looking for an owl😅

If you can't get out of the city but still want that out of the city feel then this park is for you! Nice little trail with a woodsy atmosphere.

Our family had visited the Golden Gate Park in New York. It's a great place to visit but it takes us quite a while to find the parking space. Street parking is free if you can find one. Be prepared to have 5 or 6 hours scheduled to visit there and also bring jacket with you even if it's summer. Shared my tips and pictures in youishare.

Can’t believe a place like this exist in NYC, feels like you’re upstate. But it is extremely run down and in need of good up keeping and touch up. None of the street lamps work and all look cracked and broken. They need more accurate maps and accurate trail markers (the maps were not clear at all, had no idea where we were going. Couldn’t even find trail markers anywhere on trees. Add more maps throughout park). Stick to the main road path, the off beaten paths has no one on them and are kinda creepy. Plus, without accurate maps and markers, you won’t know where you are or going.

This park has grown on me, since my son loves to come here to ride his scooter and watch the Metro North trains pass by. There’s always plenty of space to hang out in the grass, great paths for hiking/running, and they’ve made some nice changes to the waterfront area by the dock. There is an open soccer field (no nets), baseball fields and a playground…and plenty of space to bbq/chill.

Beautiful park with lots go do.. sports fields baseball. Several walking trails.. it's hilly not flat, that's Inwood.. walk around the path that leads to the Hudson river.. catch a nice sunset.

Hidden Gem of a park! I been living in the area for about 2 months and I never bothered to explore this park for the lack of good pictures, but im pleasantly surprised at how cool and dense this trail is. Its 100% covered by trees, it feels nice and shady with some challenging hills. I wouldn’t recommend taking dogs here because of the wild life but it’s certainly allowed. It took me about 1 hour to walk the big loop and the whole time I felt like I was outside the city breathing fresh air.

A true gem of the City of New York. Hands down my favorite park within the boroughs. Views of the Hudson are fantastic, and once you're further in the park, you can't even tell you're just a couple minutes from the busy streets. Very popular for dogs. Nice waterfront greenway too. Public transit is definitely within close distance, A and 1 train a short walk away. Couldn't recommend this place more!

It did my heart good to see kids teens adults dogs all out enjoying this beautiful day. There was a collective joy that was almost tangible. My dog loved it too.

My favorite park. There's two playgrounds, a dog park. Soccer court, tennis and basketball. Nice trails to hike on. Barbecues are allow during the summer in assigned area. The Columbia Marsh is so peaceful to sit by and watch the sunset. If you are lucky during the summer you can catch Sealy the seal hanging around.

Beautiful shorter hiking trails overlooking the Hudson and off the beaten paths. Definitely worth the visit for a cool less intense hiking experience in northern Manhattan. Such a hidden gem

It's a hidden GEM right in the middle of the city! 96 acres or so of 90% virgin FOREST! Great for a day out, perfect for hiking on the color coded trails, from easy to a pretty stiff workout, the trails have it for you. The most awesome feature is the ancient caves. They're not caves in the side of the hill, they're formations made up of fallen boulders and rocks millennia old! Visit this place, guaranteed, you'll LOVE it as much as I do!

I loved this area so much. I was able to get a few pictures in by the lake. I believe I saw a man there doing Tai-Chi. Calming environment.

Nice local neighborhood park. Great size. Very close to the more well known Fort Tryon Park. There are some really remote trails in here, you almost feel like you're in the woods of Upstate NY. This a more natural park that has been reserved the way it was when the Lenape lived here. Includes a nice pond that feeds into the Hudson River and Harlem River.

Plenty of trails for bike riding, hiking and exploring the more naturistic side of New York City. Basketball courts, 5 baseball fields, 8 handball courts, 2 playgrounds. Next to Columbia university stadium.

I thought of visiting after watching a movie at 34th since this is quite a borough away from Queens, it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful and quiet park. Lots of landmarks which was fun to check out while on trail. Must visit.

I really just love this park!! So many trails both dirt and paved. Great place to explore!!

Really gorgeous park and a great place to start a tip to tip trip. In a very hilly area which is a nice contrast from most of NYC.

Beautiful park filled with a wide variety of activities and a great way to disconnect from the urban environment next door. Massive amounts of green space, watch a community baseball game, climb up high and view the Hudson River from a high vantage point.

Beautiful scenery and environment! Great park for hiking and or having a picnic. The view of the water and the bridge is to die for.

took the trek here via rollerblades. well worth it. will be frequenting this park more often. it feels like a little escape from the city

Very nice park, but has the potential to be a great park with some more up keep like mowing.

Self reminder don't wear Jordans if ur gonna hike up the nature trails to the Indian caves.. the hike was insaneeee but that top view tho is worth it!!! Great park for adventures an nature. Lots of wildlife an picnic areas for families. Lots of shades areas to hang out. Bathrooms. This place is great. There are snakes that cross on some of the walking trails the higher you get. The one I seen was non poisonous but keep a lookout still. Highly recommend to anyone!!

Love how full of life this park is. The scenery is amazing too.

It is very nice park, I have been there several time-out today I saw a little snake, I was surprised, I thought there was no snakes in New York City parks.

Nice lil spot. Cool mosaic work along alol hill. Cute lunch on a blanket spot

It could use some shading over the workout area ,I don't appreciate the people that come by to workout and have there music blasting on a big sound box that noone else wants to hear .The park dept. , security , or even the police should monitor the area to control the noise pollution. It's also not fair to the wild life in the area .

Park is open all day and night, there's a playground and open space for relaxing, picnic and grilling.

Beautiful place. Great for a little hillside experience or family time in weekends.

Awesome park for a walk or jog with the family

Beautiful park.

It was clean. crowded but with space in between crowds, it was obvious the ones that where related or friends. Quiet enough the ppl with music did went over board w/it, all dogs where leashed, no parking so go eaarly it was packed with cars, but there was safe distance all over.

Indian road playground is a gem with sprinklers, climbing structures, sandbox and ample shade.

This is great place to go to get some exercise or just relax by the river. It has a nice trail to walk.

Love

Good experience.

The directions were not to clear, they need to be more precise...think of it as a "trail hiking for dummies"....we need arrows pointing to blue or red trails...sights were nice, thanks to Google maps!

Le doy cuatro estrellas porque si está grande pero no ay muchas mesas y par hacer parrilladas tiene uno que llevar su parrilla pero si está grande pueden ir a ver si lo prefieren

This place is a hidden gem. There is so much history and wildlife to enjoy for hours. Please come and take a look for yourself.

do take the trail close to the river .. its very plesant

It's really big I love it..!

Nice hiking trails. Different trails marked by difficulty. Beautiful views.

At this park you can either walk around and enjoy nature or even ride bicycle also great spot to take nice pictures.

Clean, great views, well kept area especially at this important time with health needs.

It is a perfect place to go. Escape to nature within the city. A few blocks from Dyckman Street Subway Station

Beautiful scenery, I love taking walks to here and just staring off into the salt marsh. Lovely playgrounds for kids, big woods to hike in. All interconnected to the other parks around Dyckman. Great places to walk your dogs and have a fun spring/summer day.

Amazing little park with hiking trails at the northern tip of Manhattan!

Good 2 Go

Beautiful lots of trails

(Translated by Google) Good (Original) Bien

Great place

There are trees here too.

Clean, big good for family get together at this time

Very clean park

The 'Hill' in the park name is NO exaggeration!!! Great running trails!

💯🌞🕊️

awesome walk through the foliage

Police are a major problem there, don't bother if have a car, you'll come back to a heavy ticket within the hour

I built a DIY with my friends here

The park is a gem in Manhattan. We moved to Inwood to raise our family having the blessing of enjoying all the nature around us. People that come to visit, especially those that organize parties there, please pick up your garbage when you leave. Keep the natural beauty of our park alive. Thank you!

Great for playdates

(Translated by Google) Excellent!! To exercise, remove stress see nature. (Original) Excelente!! Para hacer ejercicio,quitar el estrés ver la naturaleza.

Beautiful park with big diversity 🤗

I can't believe I never hiked this park before. It was like taking a break from the City, but just a subway ride away. The caves were cool to see, though I wish there were more information about them in the park (perhaps I missed it).

Dirty and getting worse

Lovely autumn walks in beautiful park

Open air and welcoming

love it! nice for riding my scooter

Probably the largest tract of wooded land in Manhattan. Make sure you have full battery on your phone. You dont want to get lost in here after dark.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular place !!!! (Original) Espectacular lugar!!!!

A nice refuge from the chaos of Manhattan, but lots of litter . The Kayak launch is a tiny beach at the end of Dyckman

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place I recommend it to go for a walk, run, do various activities and appreciate nature (Original) Hermoso Lugar lo recomiendo para ir a caminar, correr hacer varias actividades y apreciar la naturaleza

I have some good memories here.....would visit again and again!

This is my favorite park.

Love this place

(Translated by Google) Nice park a beautiful view (Original) Lindo parque una vista bella

Such a beautiful park. Walking through the park is so peaceful and so many beautiful people around sharing the park makes it more beautiful for me. I love to see people out and about enjoy themselves and the view. Such a great historical park. People need to research the park. They even have great trails to walk.

Well-shaded trails with great views and good inclines. It was a fun workout walking along the northern tip of Manhattan. I went at sunset alone but would prefer company next time.

Easily the most “natural”, least landscaped and terraformed park in Manhattan, and I’ve been told it’s home to the last old-growth forest on the island (surprising to me that there is *any*, as it’s rare even in less built-up places than here). Lots of trails, well-worn but not too intrusive on the feeling of being “in the woods”—even “in the hills”, as this place will remind you more than anywhere else on the island that Manhattan has fascinating and diverse geology. Some of the high ridges have great views of the Hudson and other parts of the city as well. Go to this park, and as soon as you’re a couple hundred yards in you’ll be amazed you’re still in Manhattan. Truly a gem of a place; thank god it was preserved like this.

So not to line I like I just there like yas to Take a look but really just to take a pik Ashley but the View looks all like it does Look like the one to the hallway from the Bronx and a one next to the Bronx Zoo

What a wonderful park. It's HUGE! I didn't even see half of it. There is so much to explore and do. There are hiking trails, baseball fields, playgrounds, rock formations, and more!! I saw 2 hawks, woodpeckers, and an owl!

I’ve been coming to this park for many years and the only world I can use to describe this place is Serenity.

Great, calm park, with both an open space with various sports courts as well as a hilly part with many hiking trails.

The experience is always delightful... Rocks hills river land.. just perfect

An underrated gem of a New York park, peaceful and tranquil, with many steep hills and trails that allow for meandering walks, access down to the Hudson River, and spectacular views of the Palisades and the Henry Hudson Bridge.

So many beautiful views and such a great spot to go and experience a day for either yourself, friends, or dates. There are so many activities and such great views along with hiking paths for those looking for a bit of work. This park is simply a magical kernel of joy during the warm seasons

Roads needs repair. Not as filthy as the Parks in the Bronx, but it used to be cleaner. This was the park I grew up roller skating. Attempted to skate with my daughter, not good for that. It’s a good place for picnics, volleyball, hiking, not skating.
