The North Woods in Central Park is a peaceful, wilderness-like experience in the heart of the Big Apple. Runners can explore wooded trails, waterfalls, and streams modeled after the Adirondack Mountains. Visitors can hike along the Ravine and Loch, enjoy birdwatching, and explore the historic Blockhouse. With miles of paved trails popular for different sport types, North Woods can get busy, especially in September when mild weather makes it ideal for outdoor activities. Occasional rain may create muddy spots, but the area's natural beauty remains unmatched.
