Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about Central Park (North Woods) | The hidden forest of Manhattan, NY

Definitely. While the Fan Fests and South Central Park will be saturated with World Cup tourists, The North Woods is local New Yorkers' best kept secret for finding real silence and nature in Manhattan.
Yes, during daylight hours (08:00 AM to 05:00 PM), it is a great area for families and solo walkers. We recommend not visiting at night due to the lack of lighting in the deep forest.
Forget dress shoes. Wear sports shoes or light walking boots (sneakers); The trails are made of compact dirt and rocks, ideal for urban hiking.
Yes. Take the B or C lines to the 96th or 103rd Street station, and you'll be just steps from the entrance to The Pool to start the route.

The soul of this experience

Forget the Central Park of the movies where everyone skates or rides in carriages. The North Woods is Olmsted’s original master design to simulate the wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains, right in the middle of the densest zip code in the world. It is an architectural respite where concrete surrenders to moss, waterfalls and stone bridges without mortar. It is your personal oasis; the perfect antidote to the frenetic pace of Manhattan, especially when the city is bustling with tourists.

What will you find along the way?

The route begins by entering on West 100th Street, at The Pool. From there, the city disappears as you cross under the imposing Glen Span Arch. Follow the waterway through The Ravine, a narrow path flanked by tall trees where the sound of three hidden waterfalls drowns out the sirens of New York. Your visual target is the Huddlestone Arch, a feat of engineering built from massive rocks wedged together by gravity. End your tour by emerging at the Harlem Meer, where the city gently reappears on the horizon.

Security level

Level: Yellow (Conditional). Very safe and calm during the day. However, being a wooded area without deep artificial lighting, it should be avoided after sunset.

Accessibility and mobility

Inclusion grade: Bronze. The inner path (The Ravine) has rustic stone and dirt steps, inaccessible to wheelchairs.

Inclusive Alternate Route: Skirting The Pool and Harlem Meer offers partial views along level paved trails.

Golden Spot Tips

Below the second waterfall of The Loch. There is a large flat rock in front of the main waterfall, in the ravine. Sit there, close your eyes for a minute. It is the only point in Manhattan where it is physically impossible to see a single building.
