About This Trail

Imported description

It's a small piece of history in NYC. It is filled with caves and valleys, ridges, forest and salt marsh. One of the best spots to see a bald eagle is the park, which was the site of the release project in 2002. I want to make sure you know about thewood-hill- park.
