Palisades Interstate Park overlooking the Hudson River in NJ and NY
Shore Trail (white)
The Shore Trail begins at the southern park entrance at the Edgewater-Fort Lee border, descends to the Hudson River, then follows along the Hudson's shore, eventually crossing the Giant Stairs and on to Peanut Leap Cascade, where it steeply ascends back to the cliff top just north of the New York-New Jersey state line, ending at its junction with the Long Path. Except for the Giant Stairs and the northern terminus, the trail covers easy to moderate terrain.
Long Path (aqua)
The Long Path follows the top of the cliffs from just north of the George Washington Bridge to the state line on U.S. Route 9W. (It then continues into New York State.) The trail covers easy to moderate terrain throughout. Click for a mile-by-mile trail description of the Long Path.
Palisades Cliffs both over and under - multi mile trails beginning at GWBridge north side and extending north ten miles.
