The Little Red Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Iconic building straight out of a picture book. Even if the approach to the bridge from here is a little complicated, the detour to the lighthouse is worthwhile.

Fort Washington Park Greenway & View of George Washington Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Finally escaping the city, enjoy the non-stop ride along the banks of the Hudson River. To the north, you can either cross the river over the G. Washington Bridge and continue on the Jersey side, or continue through the Bronx to the Empire State Trail via Manhattan's highest point.

Hudson River Greenway: Manhattan Valley to Morningside Heights (Riverside Park)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Hudson River Greenway (HRG) is a popular 12.9-mile paved trail in New York City, offering a scenic route along the Hudson River and the west side of Manhattan. The section from Manhattan Valley to Morningside Heights runs through Riverside Park, a beautiful, tree-lined area providing great views of the Hudson River. This part of the greenway is open for both pedestrians and cyclists, with separate paths for each. As the trail meanders through Riverside Park, users can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and access various amenities like picnic areas, benches, restrooms, and cafes. The path here is relatively flat, making it perfect for leisurely walks, jogs, bike rides, and commuting.
