Home of Manhattan’s last natural forest, Inwood Hill Park offers 196 acres of salt marsh and primordial green space that has been around since the nation’s colonial days. This iconic park has evidence of prehistoric life here resulting from shifting glaciers. The glaciers left behind ridges, valleys, and dramatic caves that have been largely untouched. The park also provides hiking and biking along the Hudson River Bike Trail. This scenic route offers natural beauty, including a chance to witness a bald eagle in New York City. More modern amenities include a dog run, athletic fields, and a barbeque area.
