One of our favorite places in the neighborhood. Particularly perfect on a sunny day after brunch at Indian Road Cafe. Muscota Marsh is a one-acre public park in the Inwood section of the borough of Manhattan, on the shore of Spuyten Duyvil Creek, a section of the Harlem River. It is adjacent to the much larger Inwood Hill Park. The park is notable for its views and for its ecological conservation features. Muscota Marsh is unusual for having both a freshwater marsh and a salt marsh in such a tiny area. Besides attracting plant and animal life (you can spot all sorts of birds here and even an occasional seal!), these wetlands are intended to help filter rainwater runoff and thereby improve the water quality of the river. Other facilities include a dock for kayaks and canoes, benches, and walking paths. A wooden deck overlooking the river provides views of Inwood Hill Park, the Henry Hudson Bridge, and the New Jersey Palisades.
