Harlem Meer

Highlight • Lake

Harlem Meer is a small lake in Central Park and a popular destination for park visitors. It has a great path around it, ideal for a leisure stroll or a relaxing break on one of the benches.

Southern entry into Central Park. If you want to go north through Manhattan, there is the possibility to escape the dense New York traffic here in the park in addition to the Hudson Trail on the bank.

Today I repeated the second stage of "The Big Spin 2024" for the ranking, because Zwift crashed the other day and didn't save😞. Since then there have been no more pictures 🤔 They're working on it...👨‍💻 Komoot is also missing 70 meters of elevation.
