Kingswood Bluff

You are standing at Kingswood Bluff, a dramatic geological feature that has defined the landscape here for centuries. This rocky outcropping is actually a distinct formation of intrusive basalt, separated from the main cliff line of the Palisades by an ancient fault. Because of its height and its proximity to the water, this site served as a vital maritime landmark for generations, guiding ships navigating the Hudson River toward New York Bay.
