I took this photo in front of the LeFrak Point Lighthouse along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway in Jersey City. I stood low to photograph leaves on the walkway and the One World Trade Center in the distance.
You can start at Pavonia Avenue and River Drive South in Jersey City. From there, you can take the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway east toward the Hudson River. As you approach the water, you’ll see a the LeFrake Lighthouse as a landmark to guide you towards the exact point where the photo was taken.
If you're coming from Manhattan, you can take the PATH into Jersey City.
By PATH:
- Get on at 14 Street Station in Manhattan
- Get off on Newport
- Walk east (about 5 minutes) until you reach the LeFrak Lighthouse
