5 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Small Hudson River riverside park with sweeping water views, driftwood-strewn shorelines, wooded walking paths and rusted industrial ruins — great for moody waterscapes, long exposures at sunset, and intimate nature details. Easy roadside parking (Riverside Ave), free entry; best light at sunrise/sunset and calm weekday mornings. Trails are flat but some offshoots are unmarked and rocky; expect trains overhead and seasonal ice in winter.
Trailhead on Riverside Ave offering direct access to the Hudson River shoreline, river vistas, barges, and distant Palisades. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm light and reflections; sunsets can silhouette river traffic. Easily accessible parking at the trailhead; flat paths are walkable with gear. Weekdays and early mornings avoid local walkers. No permit required; seasonal weather affects river visibility and migratory birds.

Note occasional litter; bring a polarizer for water and filters for long exposures.

Trail is wheelchair- and stroller-friendly; expect more walkers and anglers on wk
