Enter at CPW and 77th to follow winding paths , some hidden and others in the open. There's a lovely one that cuts straight across to 5th Ave without the congestion of the other transverses.

The Ramble Cave , also known as the Indian Cave , was created from a natural cave discovered during park construction and used by lake rowers who could leave their boats to explore the area. Read more

This relatively rugged expanse at the heart of Central Park feels completely removed from the hustle and bustle of the city due to its hilly and forested surroundings and being hemmed in by The Lake

If you have a dog this is a great spot with small areas of grass and lots for a pup to adventure in.

Emily Ryan

One of the most magical parts of Central Park ...you would never know you're in the middle of Manhattan. Wooded area with tons of trails , waterfalls and bird-watching.

There are lookouts all around the lake , some more secluded than others, that provide literal urban oasis while the rugged grounds provide countless hidden nooks and shelters for folks to get frisky!

Christina Louise

An escape within Central Park . Look out for animals. We saw some beautiful birds, and even a raccoon.

Thomas Pajor

I love the small winding paths in this area of Central Park . It's also great for watching the canoes on the lake .

The best place in New York City to get lost. You'll forget you're in a metropolis in here.

Escape any site of concrete & discover hidden waterfalls . Beautiful during fall foliage at end November!

For all you Naturalists out these, grab your cameras and binoculars and spend a couple hours Rambling around. Amazing space in NYC.

For just a few minutes you feel like you are in the woods and not in New York City

A beautiful place to get lost. Feels more like going for a hike than walking through the city .

Take a vacation from your worries with some healthy escapes like a cup of herbal tea , phoning a friend or a walk around the park .

If you need to get away from the craziness of the city . Get lost in here.

Just ramble through. If you get lost, sleep on one of many comfy benches .

Whispers in the woods / an old gate and keystone age/ I want to believe

This place should be renamed the shambles.... No longer the hot spot it once was!

If you don't get lost you're not doing it right

Still a beautiful place, even after all the storm damage.

A little too empty.. I was afraid of being alone in there.

Jordan Perr

Leave the concrete. Nothing is off limits.

representa una yuxtaposición a la formalidad de la terraza . Esta está diseñada para lucir como un bosque natural y es el lugar donde realmente uno puede escapar del ruido de esta ciudad -
