About This Trail

Imported description

It's an easy hike through the woods and along the Bay to see the Verrazano Bridge and the Rackliffe House. The trail begins at the back of the park visitors center. The trail is very easy but should be sprayed with bug spray if you go through marsh areas. The marker shows you to the right at the 1 mile point. The trail marker is located along the tree line. This is a great short hike. Dogs are allowed but must be on a leash.
