Fort Washington Park Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Quite far from the center and the "usual" sights, but easy to reach with a rental bike. A pleasant change after the houses and asphalt sea of Manhattan.

The Washington Bridge is impressive. Located in the Bronx. You can and should ride your bike over it. But if possible don't be afraid of heights! Only the entry is a little complicated with the bike. Please take a close look beforehand.
The rest of the route is then nice routine. A lot of people on the promenade (at least on public holidays). The lawns are packed with all sorts of people, chilling, grilling and partying. Nice to see.

The Little Red Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Iconic building straight out of a picture book. Even if the approach to the bridge from here is a little complicated, the detour to the lighthouse is worthwhile.

Fort Lee Park View

Highlight • Viewpoint

Park on a hill just off the Washington Bridge with great views of Manhattan. The small detour here is definitely worth it.

Piermont Railway Station (historic)

Highlight • Historical Site

A restored 19th-century train station building at the start of a beautiful gravel trail. You can find many other interesting details on the photographed information board, but you should still go there.

Old Erie Rail Trail (gravel)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From this point there is a view of the mighty bridge, which can be crossed on a great bike lane. It's still a long way to New York, but you could also take the train.
