nice cove on north side for landing kayaks.
During the War of 1812, the War Department built a blockhouse with two cannons on Great Mill Rock. This fortification was part of a chain of blockhouses that was intended to defend New York Harbor and protect the passage into Long Island Sound against the British Navy
A very underrated city park that is often overshadowed by the other more well-known parks. You'll find very few tourists and no cyclists. The beaches are never crowded. The best time to visit is probably in the dead of night.
I Mill Rock on any block!
Mill Rock Park is a unique, gross (unless seagull poop is your thing), cramped and hard to get to little pile of rocks in the East River. Ew. As I slipped back into my kayak after walking around, I couldn’t shake the feeling that flesh eating bacteria were now a part of my day.
On the flip side, the views of Manhattan, Queens and Randall’s Island are second to none. Truly stellar. So, 3 stars instead of 1.
Bring your camera, some nose plugs and a few gallons of bactine for the paddle bavk.

Love circumnavigating this island. There's an inlet on north end to rest from river currents. Island is a protected bird sanctuary, so there's absolutely no going ashore. Beautiful when green.
Beautiful place summer or winter is nice to be there
