The Manhattan Waterfront Greenway and Central Park Loop offers a unique urban cycling adventure, blending the dynamic energy of the city's waterfront with the tranquil beauty of its most famous park. You'll pedal along dedicated paths, taking in sweeping vistas of the Hudson River and iconic bridges before transitioning into the lush, green oasis of Central Park. It's a fantastic way to experience New York City's diverse landscapes from a bike.
This easy touring cycling route covers 20.6 miles (33.1 km) with a minimal 406 feet (124 metres) of elevation gain, making it achievable for most in about 1 hour and 58 minutes. Public transportation is your best bet for reaching the starting point, as parking can be scarce and expensive in Manhattan. Consider riding on a weekday morning to enjoy fewer crowds, especially around the popular Central Park Loop cycling sections.
What makes this route stand out is its seamless connection between two of New York City's most popular cycling routes, offering a comprehensive tour of Manhattan's highlights. You'll pass by notable landmarks like Cleopatra's Needle and enjoy prime viewpoints of the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge, providing endless photo opportunities. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a relaxed ride with plenty of sightseeing.
