The experience
Fifty acres of never-logged woodland inside the New York Botanical Garden — the largest surviving remnant of the forest that once covered the whole of New York City. The Bronx River, the only freshwater river in the city, cuts a rocky gorge and true rapids straight through it, past the 1840 Stone Mill built as the Lorillard snuff mill and restored in 2010. Oak, beech, birch, ash and tulip trees more than two centuries old stand over marked trails. Metro-North's Harlem Line stops at Botanical Garden station; the B, D and 4 reach Bedford Park Boulevard.
A forest that has never been cut, with a river gorge running through it, inside the Bronx.
