Prospect Park Nature Trails
Did you know that Prospect Park is home to Brooklyn’s last remaining upland forest? These 250 acres of scenic, natural areas include Brooklyn’s last remaining upland forest and countless species of native plants and wildlife. Prospect Park Alliance has launched a formal trail system with five routes through the heart of our forest, each with scenic viewpoints.
Staying on these paved, wood-chipped, gravel and log-lined routes while exploring the park’s woodlands helps ensure that Brooklyn’s Backyard, including fragile wildlife habitats and native plants can continue to thrive. Make the most of your time in Brooklyn’s Backyard by visiting Fallkill Trail, Lullwater Trail, Peninsula Trail, Midwood Loop and Ravine Loop.
