Question: How far can you walk out into the Hudson River?  

Answer: 795 feet At Pier 1 in Riverside Park....pretty far!

Running from 59th to 71st Street, the park offers interning sketching venues, including an old gantry that was used to unload barges and railroad cars, interesting water features and, at the 72nd street entrance, an elegant statue of Eleanor Roosevelt
