Tips

The Ridgewood Reservoir is a decommissioned 19th century reservoir and freshwater wetland. After being shut down and abandoned in the 20th century, the reservoir naturally became a lush freshwater wetland surrounded by forest. This ecosystem became home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including some threatened and endangered species such as the Short-eared Owl and Pied-billed Grebe. It's a family-friendly bike and walking trail and a great place for bird watching. It's a short walk from Highland Park.

Almost in the middle of the city (Queens) and yet an oasis for animals. Excellent
