Tours by reservation only. Windy and therefore colder but beautiful and the most unique landscape in the state of not the whole North East!

Rode my bike from Brooklyn and took the ferry to check this place out. It was a great little day trip. I don’t really know how to rate the park, as it is a really bizarre place. In any sense it’s amazing that they could turn a landfill into fields of tall grass so big you feel like you’re lost in Kansas somewhere. The air does smell fresh, but there were some concerning things. For example, there was rust colored runoff throughout the park. I was told by a park attendant that this comes from the minerals which help decompose the garbage. Anyway, I was here over a year ago so the photos are old but definitely check this place out if you get the opportunity.

They had free bikes and a bike path almost 4 miles long. Very scenic and beautiful---great for taking pictures. I can't wait until they finish the park!

Really nice place to ride a bike and explore. The park is not entirely opened yet. When I went there was supposed to be a guided birding tour, but it ended up being an "explore" yourself kind of a day which I didn't expect.
