aThe Palisades inTersTaTe Park
In New Jerseyis part of more than 100,000 acres of parks and historic sites that the Palisades inTersTaTe Park Commission manages for New York and New Jersey. The two states formed the Commission in 1900 to stop the destruction of the Palisades by stone quarries, which were blasting the
famous cliffs for crushed stone.
The new Jersey Park is about twelve miles long and half a mile wide, containing 2,500 acres of wild Hudson River shorefront, uplands,
and cliffs.
VisiTors find wiThin This Park more than thirty miles of hiking and ski trails, a boat launching ramp, a scenic riverside drive, a cliff-top parkway and overlooks, riverfront picnic areas and playgrounds, a nature sanctuary, two boat basins, historic sites—and mile after mile of rugged woodlands and vistas just minutes from midtown Manhattan.
The Palisades Interstate Park is a National Historic Landmark, and the Palisades Cliffs are a National
Natural Landmark.
The Long Path and the Shore Trail are National Recreation Trails.
