Gateway National Recreation Area — New York Focus

A Different Side of New York Harbor

Discover

Gateway National Recreation Area brings together coastal landscapes and historic places across New York and New Jersey. For a New York-focused visit, Jamaica Bay and Staten Island offer starting points ranging from wildlife habitat to harbor defenses. This is a collection of destinations, so choose a particular area before building an itinerary.

Before you go

Check the map, access notices, and activity requirements for the specific area you choose. Sandy Hook is in New Jersey and should not be presented as a New York location.

New York’s harbor edges hold more than skyline views. Gateway’s New York sites connect coastal habitat with places such as Fort Wadsworth. Pick one area, then use its current visitor information to plan the day.

Would you begin with a marsh landscape or harbor history?
