West Lake Dr (near 16th St Entrance) Brooklyn , NY 11225 United States
views are obscured by trees in the warmer months but once the trees are bare you can see to coney island
ironically you can't actually see anything from the top of lookout hill
Pay your respects to the 150 year old maples at the east summit
Keep an eye out for red-tailed hawks that frequent this area. Beautiful!
Great views in the winter
