Joe Michaels Mile

Beautiful spot to enjoy some wonderful scenery and breathtaking views of little neck bay. You have a great view of the water and if you so desire you can take a boat out into the bay as well. If you’re stuck in cross island parkway traffic, you have a fantastic view of the sunset in the evening. Or if you’re walking, running, or biking this is a great place to take some pictures of the water and sunset. I’d also come here on a date to enjoy the scenery. No matter the occasion or who you’re with, this spot most definitely provides top tier views of little neck bay and in my opinion some of the best scenic areas of Queens. Having lived in Bayside for 5 years as a young child this place brings back many memories as well.

It is a good bike throughfare and runners use it often. However, it is right next to the Cross Island Pkwy so all of that road noise will fill up your ears. If you were planning to sit on one of the benches to look out into the water, the roar of car engines will be constant and relentless. Bring some noise cancelling headphones for a better experience.

It's great to ride a bike Rollerblade walk, jog, or run or just sit and look at the scenery

All concrete, no shade, plenty of cars. I appreciate that it's there. The little beaches seem nice to chill at. Recommend bikes as a through route. Longer than a mile.
