Ample parking spread all over Garret Mountain, only a handful near the tower, though. You will need to climb steps or the ramp to get to the tower area so not handicap accessible per se as you will def need someone to push you up the ramp. Maybe someone with fit arms would make it on their own, but thats not the case with my mom at the time. It was a bit difficult for me to push her up on my own with my feeble arms.
The view by the tower grounds is best in the fall when the leaves are not in your way to see NYC otherwise you'll see as far as paterson and further if you can spot a tree free area. We love to walk around the area as there are several trails at varying elevations. The tower is above the castle grounds. They are not at the same elevation even though they may be next to each other on a map. Each also has its own parking.

There is a short, rocky trail that provides beautiful views of surrounding North NJ and NYC in the distance. It’s really a place you could just sit and look at the horizon for hours. Being in the reservation, there are also plenty of trails for walking. This place is definitely a must go in North NJ if you’re looking for amazing views. Bring...
