Riverside Park and the Hudson River bike path
Plan a walk or bike ride in Riverside Park with suggested entry points, Hudson River Greenway links, and current closure resources.
Where to start
Riverside Park runs along the Hudson on Manhattan’s West Side from 72nd to 158th Streets. The waterfront greenway is the bike route. The park also has upper paths and entrances at different elevations, so check your access point before you go.

Three ways to visit
A ride north from the marina
Use the waterfront route around West 79th Street as an orientation point. Continue north on signed bike paths and follow any posted detours.
A walk around Cherry Walk
Look up current access between roughly West 100th and West 125th Streets before planning this stretch. Take an inland route if the waterfront is closed.
Check your route on the day
NYC Parks and Hudson River Park manage different stretches. Follow posted signs, yield where routes are shared, and check detours before setting out.
