Fort Lee Historic Park, Palisades Interstate Park Commission

This park is a great place to go on a hike, have a picnic, or just enjoy views of the George Washington Bridge. There are multiple entrances and Parking Lots. Try to pick the parking lot that best suits your activity. For hiking, I enjoy starting at the top parking lot off of Palisades Parkway. For picnics, I recommend parking towards the bottom on the riverside. For casual strolls, like when we walk our dog, there's a parking lot you enter from Edgewater, where after a short walk, you get a great view of the George Washington Bridge.

Wonderful place to hang out with your love ones, friends etc. There are so many options that you can do such as hiking, walking, sightseeing, to have a picnic, and you can also ride your bike. Parking is also easy and cheap!

This is a great place for a weekend hike near the city. Quite accessible by transport. The visitor center here opens at 10 am. It becomes a bit confusing to understand the start of the trail even with maps. The visitor center area just has a small easy historic park trail of less than a mile which doesn't really connect with the other main trails.The long path trail entrance has been closed for quite a few weeks now, so if you want to start the long trails you need to go to the Hudson terrace entrance of the park which is quite far from the actual main entrance and there is no internal connection as such since the path is closed for now. Once you reach the correct spot it is quite easy to navigate with the trail markers. To reach the picnic areas it is a steep walk down but the steps are properly carved out and it is manageable. We started the Allison's loop, met with Carpenter's trail and walked down to the Ross Dock picnic area, which is a very pretty spot with washrooms, benches, parking and a good view. Overall a good experience for a quick near the city unplanned hike.

Beautiful park with amazing views of the Hudson and NYC. Lots of walking and biking trails to explore the palisades. I would say it's between moderate and expert hiking depending on what trail you pick. Lots of waterfalls and trees

What a view of George Washington Bridge less than 100 steps from the parking lot of Fort Lee historic park. Parking lot is metered and 1 to 3 hour, you pay dollar only and pay exact change. If you are expecting machine gives you change, money is gone. I gave $5 to machine thinking that $4 change will come back, machine said over payment so I canceled the transaction but gave me ticket for maximum 3 hours. Money is gone. Later on saw sign on the top of the machine says pay exact change. While paying meter, you have to write three digit location of your car which is written on the parking floor. However, park gives amazing views of GWB and history of the place is priceless. I will come back for sure when weather warms up little bit.
