Van Cortlandt Park

Bronx

Over 1,100 acres of native woodlands hide in the northwest Bronx, where old-growth forests and beginner-friendly trails feel worlds away from Manhattan. Wander the John Muir Trail through quiet woodland, or tackle the Cass Gallagher loop for more elevation and the park's most impressive trees.
