The Ultimate Brooklyn Waterfront Ride

The Brooklyn Greenway is a 26-mile continuous bike path that connects Brooklyn's entire waterfront — from Greenpoint in the north to Bay Ridge in the south. It's one of the best cycling experiences in New York City.

Route Highlights

The greenway passes through Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Red Hook's industrial waterfront, and the Shore Parkway. Each section offers unique views and character.

Planning Your Ride

The full 26 miles takes about 2-3 hours at a leisurely pace. You can also ride sections — the DUMBO to Brooklyn Heights segment is particularly scenic and only takes 15 minutes.
