Wonderful park with some of the est views of the George Washington BRidge you can see. There is a small museum there which is free but accept donations. Lots of interesting small exhibits there about the historic park. That museum is now closed due to COVID but will open again in time. The grounds itself are also nice with sme nice trails and even some cannons. There was also a flat fee at the front entracne years ago but that has been changed over to paying at a muni meter once you park. As there are very few muni meters and lots of spaces, you may find yourself waiting on a long line to pay during peak days and times. You can exit the park and ake a short walk right onto the GWB walk/bike pathway which is a great experience. It does get windy up there so stay warm.

Beautiful park.Serene and peaceful with a flair of history.No direct access to hiking trails.Can walk across the GWB on foot. To do that, go outside the park; turn right; go North; the walkway will be on your right side. Very pleasant.

Amazing place, beautiful George Washington Bridge view. Serene and peaceful place. The park has good walking trails, for those who want to get some exercise and connect with nature.

Easy to get to. Beautiful park. Facili8s are closed due to virus. Get there early to find parking.

This place needs some TLC and soon! Assuming some of the revenue comes from the pay to park machine, that was not working on this day. Nice walking trails with many trip hazards. The only descent overlook that wasn’t blocked by large over growth was the GWB. This one view is worth the trip. All other views of the Hudson are overgrown and somewhat blocked. Most lights on the trails have been removed or are broken and park benches along the trails need to be replaced or repaired. Litter is in plain site around the trails. It seems as though there is zero maintenance at this once beloved spot. So sad.

Had a great time at the park. Visitor center was cool too. There’s not a ton of trails but you can walk a pretty good distance overall.The bridge view was great .Parking was cheap too.

The sights at this park is truly amazing! Been here many times now as it a gorgeous park.

Fort Lee Historic Park is made up of a pretty set of trails, many of them shaded and surrounded with woods, so even in the hot weather its a nice place to walk around. There are also some fort-like spots and a visitors center. Check the schedule, as the center doesnt seem to be open some days, but the park is open 7 days a week. In some spots theres a view of the NYC skyline and the GW Bridge.

Nice place. Doesn’t have a lot of activities to be done here. You can take a small walk around the park to get the view of Hudson River and Harlem and other parts of NYC.The park doesn’t have lot of stuffs from the war but does have couple of cannons and soldier hut. Of course this places gives you grand view of the GWB!!

This place is amazing beautiful Park great for marathon training biking trails.

Fort Lee Park is an amazing place to spend a nice quiet time after work. The best time to go to the park is during dusk. The view of George Washington Bridge is amazing. You have the nice view of Hudson River and both level of the GW bridge. There is enough space for car parking. However, you have to pay for the meter (not too expensive: $1-$2 per hour). The office closes around 5 pm.

The shore trail is so beautiful, so many places to sit next to the river and take in the city!

The visitor center is open Wednesday through Sunday but there are walking trails with good views of the Hudson River, the George Washington bridge, and parts of the original Fort Lee and its cannon batteries that George Washingtons army unsuccessfully used to defend the Hudson River from the advancing British navy.A nice shaded park good for a walk and to visit a bit of American history. See the pictures for a sample of what you can see there.Parking is cheap at $1 or 2/hour depending on whether it is a weekday or weekend. Just enough to discourage use as a free carpooling spot and contribute a few dollars toward upkeep.

This is not the best park Ive been to but it is really good. Great views of the Hudson River and Yonkers to the east. What it lacks in remoteness it makes up for with long trails running north/south and some steep but not difficult climbs up the Palisades. There is some wildlife but youll never get out of the beer can zone. The beer can zone is that stretch of trail where people carrying beer will drink it then toss it aside, usually no more than a mile from a parking area. Theres an awful lot of trash in the trails too, people seem able to carry it in but just cant bring themselves to carry it out. The park is also right on the parkway, so theres lots of car noise as well.But none of that is so bad I wouldnt recommend this park. If youre up for some nice views, a challenging bike ride or a surprisingly long walk so close to a city, this park is worth checking out.

It is a nice little park to explore. Lots of things to photograph. Good restaurants near by and close to home.

Nice park. Great view of the bridge. Nice place to take a walk. Museum feel to it.

Went to the park early in the morning in Sept. It was not crowded. There are a couple of lookouts over the Hudson but that isnt the main draw of the park. It is more historical, there is an encampment, old looking buildings. There are several paths for walking and the scenery is nice. There is an educational center it was closed at the time. There is plenty of parking

Love this park. Walking distance from Manhattan but deer and groundhogs and chipmunks, bluejays, mockingbirds. And this is the grumpy old man in me coming out, all the visitors seem to treat it for what it is - a semi-rural haven in an all too urban place.

The park has good walking trails,for those who want to get some exercise.I saw some pretty neat wildlife,two Peregrine Falcons and some whitetail deer,which were bedded down and allowed me to walk past them only about fifteen feet away.The historical aspect of the park seemed a little bit boring to me,but people who are into history would like it,especially if they like military history from the early days of the US.Heres what I Loved: the amazing view of the George Washington Bridge and,if you follow the cliff side trail to the south end of the park you have an awesome unobstructed view of Manhattan.I was less than thrilled with the following ,If you are paying for parking with cash the kiosk says that on Sunday you must pay for a minimum stay of four hours,which is $5.00.I had nothing smaller than a $10.00 bill.The machine doesnt give change,so I had to put ten dollars in,which gave me six hours,but I only stayed for an hour.Would I go back? You Betcha!

This is actually a very long narrow park with many different areas. If you go down by the docks on busy summer days you might have to pay to park. Other areas further down you do not have to. There are a few good hiking trails. I take my dogs down here all the time. Sometimes at the little beach area. Sometimes to just look at the bridge. It’s very photogenic and a perfect place for a picnic.

Great way station to relax and take pics while biking

Best place to see wild turkey and deer, if your lucky. Beautiful views and a relaxed museum is available. George Washington bridge and beautiful city sky lines are visible. Walking through the park you discover replicas of old forts and soilders living quarters.

Great place to visit and have the view of the Washington bridge. Its a easy hike place

Easy to find, metered parking is cheap ($1 for an hour), nice views. But there is not much to do

This park is underrated, we enjoyed it here and learned more about Washinton and his troops journey. Theres a lot to see in the museum which is fairly well kept and there are shelters and cannons outside that we enjoyed seeing. Theres also a beautiful bridge of the George Washington bridge.

Great place to relax and enjoy natureRecommend going

Stopped here after driving down henry Hudson lane under the GWB(highly suggested) on a cold weekday in January, place was all but empty. Great views, even saw a small buck deer!!Not to mention the reason this park is here, walking in the footsteps of some of the founders of our nation is incredible.

Very cool and underrated park, learn a little. Bit of history and enjoy the views, amenities and exploring a well maintained park.Great for families and regulars, bring your dogs if youd like and enjoy!

Clean, safe and beautiful environment with breath taking view of historic nature.

No dogs in upper area of park, dont understand a park with no dogs allowed

We went there on Friday afternoon and saw only few cars on the parking lot. Paid $1 for one hour parking and it’s enough time to walking around the park. There are bathrooms in the visitor center right next to the parking lot. The view of the George Washington bridge was awesome!

Great views however the place looks abandon.

Nice little park and good views of the city but Not a great place to start if you really want to see the Palisades. The Carpenters LOOP trail (recommended and posted on the Palisades website) is littered with garbage and at some points runs directly along the highway (literally a couple feet from passing cars). Even when youre in the forest part of the trail, you always hear the cars. You dont get a sense of nature that much as the trail runs through some small roads and the other parks. Id recommend driving further up alongside the Palisades to the northern tip to really see the Rocky cliffs and more nature.

Beautiful view and excellent place to go with a friends and family to do picnic

Great day to be outdoors

Very cool. Nice views of GW Bridge. Manhattan. Peaceful.

Awesome trails and beautiful views.

First date, ideal spot to meet and walk. Nice town close by for food.

Really nice and relaxing spot, well maintained and with great views but better when its not busy

Nice park for family to spend couple of hours and learn about Battle of Fort Lee during American Revolutionary War. You will also enjoy magnificent views of Hudson River and GW Bridge. That alone is worth the trip.

Great viewing location for residents or tourists of NY. The views are similar to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook. It’s definitely worth a trip.

The park in general is beautiful for walking, also it has a historical aspect, there you can see a beautiful view of George Washington bridges and other picturesque views on the Hudson river

I really enjoyed this park. Its historic and has beautiful scenery. You can also get the best veiw of George Washington Bridge. The park has big trees so its shaded nicely and a lot of places to sit. The walking path is nice and flat too. The visiting center, which is also a nice museum, has a nice clean bathroom. I was 36 weeks pregnant when I visited so all of that was very important to me.

Visited back in the winter of 2000. Very cold day. Ive also seen it from below via my paddle board and kayak on quite a few occasions.

Oh WoW, my first stroll here on this 17th 9/11 memorial day...I spotted what appears to be 2 Doe! I was soooo surprised and delighted to see them, as this was totally unexpected!This is a nice park to walk/hike. One of the Doe traced my steps along the river front, from behind the visitors center/ museum up to the smaller terrace, then it dove off into the trees as another park-goer approached. Its awesome how one could just immerse into the wild in less than a miles walk!

Neat little park. Will go back in summer to check it out.

Great views of the George Washington Bridge!!

Right now its a blank piece of canvas with a great potential. Great view, but nothing else... really.

Nice place to walk and a great view of the bridge

Great view of the GWB!

Id give a zero. Dirty, abandoned and no open restrooms.

A nice view of the George Washington Bridge can be seen from the National Park! Its a good place to stroll, jog or just relax!

Lovely park, great trails by the river!

Beautiful, place,very good to walk and take a pure air

Awesome place! We BBQed right in front of the restrooms which they were super clean. Perfect spot!

One of my favorite places, so close to the city!

My favorite park, took my 3 year old and 1 year old for a nice small hike. My 3 year old loved the historical cottages, thought they were snow whites house. It is also very safe long as you keep your little ones close. The visitors center is also worth the visit.they have a small museum inside.

It’s a great site to check out. Amazing views with great trails and information signage. The bastions and replica fortifications are outstanding. Visitor center is a great place to start or end and has a great chronology of the 1776 campaign.

Noce view but no place to park they have trails closed off also

Nice view of George Washington Bridge

Beautiful park with such nice views. Its not that much crowded as well. A good picnic spot for family.

Great place to go for a wonderful view of the bridge and the river. Also, great place to find Bald Eagles

To much car noise one star

Nice. But a parking fee is required.

Beautiful place to visit, you could see new York from there, and take pictures and watch the George Washington bridge, you could bringing prepared food to eat there are some tables as you walk and some historical things to watch, this last time we saw Dears, the only thing is that the parking you have to pay $5,but is worth it.

Great park with a beautiful view of the GWB and NYC!

Wonderful view, clean park

You have wonderful views of G W Bridge, at the other end Unbelievable views of River, Edgewater and Manhattan.If you are lucky you may catch sight of deer.

Great lookout to the city, its also a peaceful and lush spot. It connects with the Palisades

Beautiful and peaceful walk, also great view!

Very good place at the foot of GW Bridge. Nice photo shoot areas.

Because my son loves cycling there, becouse I loved walking with my doggy, but overall, becouse of that awesome view of the river and the GWB.

Nice view, plenty space to walk, hike, cycle

Very nice place. Nice water view

Wonderful historic park. Great museum and rebuilds of historic emplacements and buildings. Pathways through the woods with informative signage. Overlooks with great views of the Hudson River, George Washington Bridge, and the Manhattan skyline. Periodic reenactments with costumed reenactors.

Beautiful Park. Clear view of the George Washington Bridge

Nice place to walk and watch the view.

The scene is beautiful. Beautiful view of the George Washington bridge. Took some beautiful pictures. You have to pay for the parking, which will probably destroy your mood.

The park has nice views of the George Washington Bridge, but they are obscured by overgrown trees. The historical part was poorly done. Little information and mediocre reproductions. The trails are paved, which is nice, but much of it needs repairs. Overall, it wasnt worth the $5 parking fee.

I like all the park around here. They are all nice. The nature is beautiful in NJ

Such beautifulPlace, we have been here many time.The view is very relaxing

Great scenic views of Hudson and Manhattan. Great for walks.

A park with a great view of the get bridge. Also with some history of geroge Washington battles in the tristate area.

Comfortable seat

Beautiful views of nyc and gw bridge

Its so historical and nice to go to know about the independence of America, the fort literally stands right were Washingtons soldiers were to fight the British back in the day. The models for the canons and lodging cabins were cool. But you cant go inside because the doors are locked. Any how they also have a museum and they have a gift shop as well. The park is cool and a nice place to have a walk.

Gorgeous river and bridge views, cool historic buildings.

This small park offers a breathtaking view of George Washington bridge! Also its cool shaded trails are perfect for jogging and walking even during hot summer days

So beautiful here. Cute rustic cafe.

My favorite place in the area!!!

My pit stop it is fine

This park is really cool if you want to spend a few hours somewhere nice. Its not that big, but they do have an awesome building with information & stuff to do. The canons are really nice. I think its really cool that the park kept that stuff there for people to see. There are also bathrooms inside of the building. Its a nice place to spend the day. The views of the GWB & NYC are awesome. Definitely recommend.

Ive always loved this park since I was a kid! Recently visited and was very happy to see the museum is still there and open..where I got my first ink set and declaration of independance, where my parents actually got me interested in history (my least favorite subject as a kid). I always love seeing the tanks and old forts/houses along the trail! But even if you arent very into the history, there are lovely views of the bridge and city and plenty of spots to sit and take it in.

It has great views of George Washington Bridge. Well maintained paths and free to visit. Parking spots are available. Great place to spend evenings.

Smallish park but amazing views of New York City and the George Washington Bridge. A nice little hideaway. Plenty of parking. A few revolutionary war exhibits highlighting locations and how weaponry was used at this location. Went in June and there were gophers and chipmunks all over the place. Nice place to spend an hour or two or bring a date if youre in the area. If youre looking for trails, bigger park, bike paths, etc. check out the nearby Palisades interstate Park.

Great little park

Quiet walk through with nice views.

Nice place to check in before going to the city. Seems to be a nice place for picnic or BBQ.

Very nice trails. Meter parking is available. Be advised there are no pets or ball playing allowed

Nice place with beautiful view of GW bridge
