Hudson River Greenway: Manhattan Valley to Morningside Heights (Riverside Park)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Hudson River Greenway (HRG) is a popular 12.9-mile paved trail in New York City, offering a scenic route along the Hudson River and the west side of Manhattan. The section from Manhattan Valley to Morningside Heights runs through Riverside Park, a beautiful, tree-lined area providing great views of the Hudson River. This part of the greenway is open for both pedestrians and cyclists, with separate paths for each. As the trail meanders through Riverside Park, users can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and access various amenities like picnic areas, benches, restrooms, and cafes. The path here is relatively flat, making it perfect for leisurely walks, jogs, bike rides, and commuting.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This route follows the Hudson River Greenway all the way along the west side of Manhattan. 100% bike path, no cars at all. It is a little less crowded on the northern section of the segment, but gets much more crowded in the southern segment. You have the option of continuing up the the GWB pedestrian walkway to ride across the bridge or continue north along the bike path to cross into the Bronx and take the empire trail as far north as Poughkeepsie.

Hudson River Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This continuous Greenway actually runs all the way from Battery Park at its south end past the George Washington Bridge and ends in Inwood at the north end of Manhattan. It can be busy with joggers and tourists on nice days (especially through midtown), but there's a dedicated bike lane which is protected from car traffic, and it's offers great views of the water. Excellent way to travel North/South through the city with minimal interruption.

Hudson River Greenway Riverside Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Riverside Walk offers a smooth, car-free path with scenic water views and a few Sakura trees that bloom in the spring. The straight, easy-to-follow trail passes through parks along the way, making it a pleasant urban ride. Shared with walkers, it's important to stay aware of others, especially when busy.
