The Palisades of the Hudson

Henry Hudson Drive is a scenic roadway constructed between 1912 and 1940 that begins at the Edgewater park entrance and follows the Hudson River north for 8 miles to the Alpine park entrance, providing access to the park’s riverfront areas.

At the south end of the park, Henry Hudson Drive begins at the park’s Edgewater entrance, at the Edgewater–Fort Lee border (River Road/Hudson Terrace).

Heading south on the Drive at the intersection with Dyckman Hill Road, which connects the Drive with the Englewood Cliffs park entrance at Palisade Avenue (PIP Exit 1).
Due to its steep, narrow, and winding character, cyclists must dismount and walk their bicycles on Dyckman Hill Road!
The Greenbrook Bridge — an engineering triumph when it was built in the early twentieth century, and about the mid-point in the seven-mile length of the Drive. Click here to learn more about the history of this unique roadway!
