The Ramble

Visited the Central Park Furever Tree that has hundreds of photos of beloved pets that have passed away--so much love on one tree 🎄❤️

Visit: July 2024 Very nice foresty area. First time seeing fireflies! But also saw a huge cluster of rats which was frightening

This was a fun hike. There is lots to see! It's secluded enough where you have a little peace and quiet, but felt safe enough to hike alone. Highly recommend checking out The Ramble.

Nice for a stroll and to escape the crowds. Visited on Christmas and found it beautiful but really can't wait to go again on spring or summer.

We like talking walks through The Ramble during visits to Central Park. This is approx. 35 acres where you find a web of footpaths winding through bouldered and wooded areas of the Park. The Ramble is between The Lake and the 79th St. transverse street. During a recent visit, we enjoyed seeing some trees in spring bloom. Quite a few small groups of birdwatchers wandering the grounds at this time as well. Its a good spot to just grab a park bench and just enjoy time passing by. All in all, we enjoy The Ramble, it is one of the areas within Central Park where you really start to feel like you have escaped the city and are in a true rural setting.

This a a great nature trail to explore. You don’t even feel like you are in a big city just out in the wilderness. A lot of wildlife and places to explore. You can literally get lost in here.

I have lived in NYC for decades and I have never felt bone chilling terror the way that I did in the ramble. Absolutely avoid this area after 6pm, even if it’s light out, but especially when it is dark. You will not be able to see people coming. There is an extremely high level of criminality transpiring in the open air for all to bear witness to. The perpetrators are intimidating and have a complete disregard for the wellbeing of others. I cannot believe the danger of this area is such a secret. An absolute horror movie.

Didn't even know such place existed within central park! Thanks to my new found hobby of bird watching, I found this little oasis while searching for places to go for bird watching in the city! The season had ended for the migrating warblers (memorial weekend) when we came, but it was still a nice place to come for nature and just good old waking around any time of the year! Although I did see numerous people with binoculars and cameras. I can see it as a cool place to visit in the heat of the summer, because the area is mostly shaded by the trees.

I finally did my first stroll through the Ramble on my last trip to New York City. What a beautiful scenic area this is. It is very peaceful and easy to get lost on the dense and winding paths that go through here. The Ramble is 36 acres of woodlands within Central Park that includes Bethesda Terrace, Belvedere Castle and the Lake. It is popular for exploring and birdwatching. There are benches to sit on and small bridges to walk over. It is amazing how walking through this area makes you completely forget about the busy city life around you. After a packed first couple of days on my trip to Manhattan, I found walking through this area of Central Park to be very relaxing and beneficial for my mental health. Spend some time listening to the many species of birds that visit here while you are walking through the Ramble.

The Ramble is a beautiful place. You could say it's meditative to wander through the different paths while getting "lost on the road less traveled." There are places to sit and view the water, easy hikes, small bridges to walk over, a tiny waterfall and so many beautiful views to choose from. I come to The Ramble whenever I visit Central Park. I love spending time reflecting here while burning those calories. The rainy season seems to be over, so it's a great time to spend outdoors and enjoy the scenery.

The Ramble is inside Central Park in NYC. it is a beautiful terrain and it leads to or is near the Belvedere Castle. So walking in The Ramble, you will see: bridges, lakes, waterfall, area for resting and etc. I have noticed that Ramble is less busy compared to the outer main path. It is a great place to walk around if you don't want to be with the big crowds or if you want some quiet time. There are many paths that takes you into and out of The Ramble from the main path. The Ramble also has its own sign. I was here April 2022.

The Ramble used to have its own page. I've reviewed it before a long time ago. I'm certainly glad (thanks to Vincent) it's back in because it's a beautiful area where you can easily get lost! I wandered all through the Ramble on May 7, 2021. Sometimes you come across people and other times you are isolated. I followed the sun going from the West to the East. I came across a lot of fallen trees. I saw a beautiful waterfall. I walked over stone bridges and wooden bridges. There's lots of benches along the way. There's lots of birds too! You can walk along the water or deeper in the woods. I have a new appreciation for the Ramble. On a day like today I had a good time and a peaceful walk. There was a time I avoided it totally. I got lost one day and luckily found a couple romancing in the trees. They pointed me to the right path. There's a lot of circular paths that take you into a area and then back out again. You could go in circles for days if you're not careful! I'm recommending you visit. It's a cool New York adventure!

My favorite part of Central Park! The Ramble is very secluded, quiet, and peaceful. On a hot day this is the place to be as there's lots of shade and it's quite a bit cooler than a lot of the other parts of Central Park. I almost hesitate to recommend it because the best part of it is that it's never been crowded the times I've been. Like a little slice of forest within the city this is where to go if you want to forget that you're in NYC.
