The Palisades of the Hudson

The Palisades Interstate Parkway and Henry Hudson Drive have been designated a Scenic Byway.

Vision

To preserve, protect, and promote the Palisades Interstate Parkway and Henry Hudson Drive as beautiful scenic drives and significant attractions within the magnificent natural setting of the Palisades Interstate Park, whose founding mission was for the protection of the Palisades cliffs for the enjoyment of future generations; and to relate the contributions and importance of the byway corridor to the history of the Revolutionary War and to the rise of the American conservation movement and regional planning that led to the protection of land and historic sites for the benefit of the public.

In 2014, new signs were placed to mark the Palisades Scenic Byway, and with a grant from the Byway Program we were able to install informational signage and plant trees at all three lookout areas in the park.
