Upper West Side and Morningside Heights, 99th to 125th St.
If you're not already on the greenway, you can access
it by entering the lower level of Riverside Park at 99th Street, or 97th
if you want to avoid the steps. Make a right (uptown) once in the park,
then look for the path down to the underpass. It's to the right in the
photo below. |
We'll head north on this tour. The next exit point from
the greenway is 125th Street in Harlem, so I'll include both the Upper
West Side (99th-110th) and Morningside Heights (110th-125th) on this tour. |
Route along the Hudson River Greenway, Upper West Side
Riverside Park consists of three levels from 72nd-125th:
The greenway next to the Hudson River; the middle level, built over Amtrak
railroad tracks (which lie behind the arches shown here); and the upper
level, which separates lower Riverside Drive (a sort of parkway with few
traffic lights) from upper Riverside Drive, a narrow drive with residential
buildings facing the river. |

| This wall is the approach to the 125th Street exit. If you want to coninue around the island, take the detour at 125th and travel under the roadway. You'll get back to the greenway and into the park at 135th. |
