The Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey is about twelve miles long and half a mile wide, with 2,500 acres of wild Hudson River shoreline, uplands, and cliffs — just minutes from midtown Manhattan!
Hikers and cross-country skiers have over 30 miles of trails to discover, ranging from gentle riverside strolls to challenging rock scrambles.
Four riverfront picnic areas provide space to relax and play by the mighty Hudson — and to show us how you grill!
The park includes miles of tree-covered roadway right along the Hudson — not to mention some grueling uphills to conquer!
The park and the Palisades take on a whole new aspect when experienced from the river!
Fishing and crabbing are allowed along the shoreline, for the length of the park.
Whether you love history, nature, just getting outside — or a bit of all of it! — throughout the year you’ll find a wide range of public programs, open to all and at no or minimal cost.
As you explore this website, we hope you will enjoy learning more about the Palisades and this park — with their rich stories, both human and natural.
