Spanning more than 12mi (19km) from Battery Park City to the George Washington Bridge, the Hudson River Greenway is a smoothly paved bike path that offers stunning views of the Hudson River. The route is shared with joggers and pedestrians strolling towards the Intrepid Museum and the Midtown-based Manhattan Cruise Terminal, but it opens up near Chelsea. The ride offers scenic vistas all the way to the Cloisters and Fort Tryon Park – the perfect place for a peaceful rest. This path is the longest in New York City and also the busiest one in the nation.
