Viewpoints in New York City

New York City has more elevated vantage points than its skyline might suggest. Natural high points such as Todt Hill, Watnong Mountain, Battle Hill, and Bald Mountain offer broad views across the region, while Campgaw Mountain, Lookout Hill, Bellot Mountain, and Drag Hill add further options for those seeking open panoramas. Fort Wadsworth sits at the mouth of the harbor, providing a distinctive coastal perspective, and Harbor Hill rounds out the natural outlook spots. The Ellen E. Ward Memorial Clock Tower and Federal Hill bring a more built character to this varied collection of viewpoints.
