The trail runs right alongside the Metro-North Hudson Line tracks (the stretch between the Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil stops), and the fence isn't aligning the whole way.
A distracted dog chasing a rabbit or squirrel can easily run right onto the active tracks. Keep a tight watch or use a long lead--it's not worth the risk, even if your dog is well-behaved.
Overall, a highly recommended spot for a scenic, simple, and convenient outdoor experience!
I did the blue trail, which is lovely, well marked, and fallen branches and trees are cleared from the path leaving a very obvious trail even when you don’t see the next marker. Would have done the red trail but got spooked by the topless man who came out of the leaves. He was minding his business but still, I just finished this trail and went into the neighborhood to walk back.
This park is on a hill looking over New Jersey. There’s a train track along the park. We thought we’d catch the sunset here but the hills across the river block the video. It’s an alright park with a small trail.
Very nice walking, hiking, and biking area. Overlooks the Hudson River for very nice views and photography. Bring your own water and food.
This was an interesting park with some nice views of the Hudson River and Palisades. There were also alot of large, impressive Oak trees in the park, as well.
