Near the West 100th Street entrance to Central Park, the Pool is a tranquil, secluded-feeling water body in Central Park. Located on the West Side between 100th and 103rd Streets, it is great for a relaxing walk and picnicking, with some of the best fall foliage views in Central Park. Red maples, sweetgums, and willows line the shoreline, and the area is great for birdwatching due to its proximity to the northern woodlands. The Pool is part of a series of landscapes connected by water. At its eastern edge, water flows under a rustic bridge and cascades down a 20-foot waterfall, and becomes the Loch, a stream that winds through the Ravine and into the Harlem Meer.
