Brooklyn Heights Promenade
Walk the Brooklyn Heights Promenade for a long, elevated look across the East River toward Lower Manhattan, the harbor, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Its linear path makes a short, flexible viewpoint stop.

Keep exploring Ellis Island with our travel partners.
The promenade gives you a continuous skyline view from Brooklyn Heights rather than a single photo point. Start near Columbia Heights and Cranberry Street, then walk the public path at your own pace. The overlook connects the neighborhood to the working harbor below, with bridge and Manhattan views changing as you move.
What to look for
Elevated walkway with Lower Manhattan and harbor views
Useful to know
Begin at the Columbia Heights and Cranberry Street Promenade segment; the mapped point is for orientation, not a precise entrance.
Allow about 30 minutes, or longer if you walk the full overlook.
