The Palisades Scenic Byway in Bergen County offers some of the most impressive views New Jersey has to offer.

Situated in the northern section of the Palisades Interstate Parkway just after exit 2 northbound, State Line Overlook is the highest point at an elevation of 532 feet, about half a mile south of the New Jersey-New York state line. This site offers astounding views of the Hudson River and Westchester County from Yonkers to Tarrytown at the Tappan Zee Bridge.

The lookout itself is open year-round, from dawn to dusk. Metered parking is in effect at $2.50 per hour on weekends. One could pay at the destinated pay station or parking app. It offers birdwatchers plenty to look at; in particular, the fall months offer a chance to spot hawks and provide access to some of the best hiking, which is where my partner and I came on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.

We arrived later in the day. Parking lot was full so we had to park along side the road, which wasn't too terrible of a walk to the lookout area. There are a few picnic tables available and a gift shop/snack bar with some seating inside as well. A handful of souvenirs can be purchased from Keychain and magnets to books and postcards. The kitchen was already closed but a few snack items were available for purchase like chips and some sort of pastry. There were only 2 stalls in the womens bathroom so there was a bit of a line that had formed and bathrooms closed at 430pm. Im not one to use public toilets but in the instance that you have to go, well you have to go! I was grossed out to where id rather piss in the woods, unfortunately there were too many people around to do so. Place could stand a bit of a renovation. Otherwise, there...
