Leads from boat ramp to waterfall. See the Brooklyn Bridge and next to it Boone Arch-entrance to the former bridge. Rent kayaks and canoes from Palisades Adventures (Doug), paddle up river to the dam #7, nice hike in the watershed across the river just up a little from the house. About an hour hike in there will get to High Bridge to put a penny on the track for the train to flatten :)
