In spring and summer, it is common to encounter what may appear to be sick, injured, or orphaned young animals in the park. No public restrooms or water are available on site. Park Headquarters building remains closed to the public for fire remediation (email & phone communication remain active). Dyckman Hill Trail (yellow markers) remains open to hikers. Restrooms closed for water line repairs at Ross Dock Picnic Area (port-a-johns available).ĭyckman Hill Road (Englewood Cliffs park entrance) remains CLOSED TO ALL USE (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians). Staying close to shore may also provide some shelter from winds - and distance from larger, faster vessels on the river!Ĭall this number before calling 9-1-1 in the park! It is best to try to time your excursion to take advantage of the flood and ebb currents, and to remember that in general the current has less velocity near shore. Paddling against a current this fast will challenge even a strong paddler, especially if combined with a headwind. This chart shows today’s tide predictions for Alpine Picnic Area.Īt its maximum velocity, which typically occurs shortly before the time of either high or low tide, the current in this section of the Hudson will run up to about 2-½ knots, or close to 3 miles per hour.
This chart shows today’s tide predictions for Englewood Picnic Area (based on data for Spuyten Duyvil Creek entrance, directly across the Hudson).Ĭlick here if the graphic does not load correctly, or if you would like to check an alternative source of tide information. Likewise, the ebb current will continue to run south (downstream) for up to about 3 hours beyond the time of low tide, before it turns slack and then begins to run north again. Remember: Tide and current are not always the same thing! In general, on this part of the Hudson, the flood current will continue to run north (upstream) for about 2 hours beyond the time of high tide, before it turns slack and then begins to run south. Always be mindful that the Hudson is a wide tidal river with powerful currents and heavy boat and ship traffic!
