Cycling
Have fun, challenge yourself, decompress — but please be courteous and keep it safe! Ride single file and make sure you are riding defensively.
Learn how the Palisades Parks Conservancy works alongside citizen groups to create a safer environment for cycling:
Henry Hudson Drive
Cycling is allowed during open hours on Henry Hudson Drive, including Ross Dock entrance road and Alpine Approach Road, from the Edgewater park entrance north to the Alpine park entrance.
Old Route 9W
On the summit of the Palisades, cycling is allowed during open hours on Old Route 9W (approx. 1.5 mi., closed to automobile traffic) from U.S. Route 9W to State Line Lookout.
Stay alert and practice courteous riding — this roadway is used extensively by pedestrians of all ages!
Remember!
Bicycles on park roadways must have wheels of at least 15 inches, cyclists must wear helmets and stay right, and groups must ride single file and obey all traffic and park regulations.
In addition to Dyckman Hill Road, cycling is not allowed on any hiking trail, walking path, or cross-country ski trail, on the Palisades Interstate Parkway, or beyond the parking areas at Allison Park and Fort Lee Historic Park. Violators will receive fines and may receive points on their licenses.
