Directions
Fort Lee Historic Park
Public Transportation: Fort Lee Historic Park is immediately south
of the George Washington Bridge (GWB) on the east side of Hudson Terrace,
on the New Jersey Palisades. Frequent bus service from the GWB terminal
in Manhattan is available, or enjoy the lovely and free one-mile walk
across the bridge. Ample free parking is available.
From the Palisades Interstate Parkway: Get off the last exit before
the bridge toll (right fork after the gas station - be sure to exit!).
Follow Hudson Terrace south under the bridge and take the first left
into the park.
From New York City: Take the upper level of the GWB and use the second
exit, which is Fort Lee. Make a sharp right and another right onto
Hudson Terrace south under the bridge and take the first left into
the park.
From the New Jersey Turnpike: Take the Fort Lee exit, and continue
straight on the service road, paralleling the bridge toll plaza, until
the service road ends at Hudson Terrace. Turn right onto Hudson Terrace,
and then make the first, almost immediate, left turn into the park.
