4 reviews for Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook
This is a fantastic little park, and a gem for the area. Absolutely stunning view. Well kept grass, well kept benches. It's petite but perfect. And it's great to just go and look at the geography of the Sandy Hook area from a birds eye view. On a clear day you can literally see Manhattan, Brooklyn, Coney Island, and Rockaway, even the control tower of JFK airport!
Most importantly, I'd say it gets my vote for most romantic area in all of Monmouth County, right next to the Twin Lights. :)
Mt Michill is the this random overlook that people really do overlook!
A great little park setting. Stunning, breathtaking, so close yet so far view of NY City.. Atlantic Highlands is where Henry Hudson stopped for fresh water before landing on Manhattan Island! A great place to catch a glimpse the skyline, the Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic. Debated highest point on the eastern coastline.... The battle is with the closed SI dump....
Close to my heart because the of day of 9/11/01, I came here after fleeing the city to see if what happened really happened... Never forget.
Mt. Mitchill Park is one of the the highest points along the New Jersey Shore. It looks across the bay into Staten Island, Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is a million dollar view for sure.
A new feature of the park is a 9-11 memorial that contains the names of all the Monmouth County residents that lost there lives on 9/11/2007. They are all listed by towns. It is a very moving experience to walk around the base and read the names.
Mt. Mitchill Scenic Overlook is a small park and will not hold your interest for more than an hour but you will be glad you stopped by.
