Back at the Goat Hill Overlook. Far more people than expected, possibly due to the fall color. Very much city people, but this isn't really a hike hard hike. I just like the forest and vistas.

Short walk at the actual park. Walked the road from the parking lot to the ferry house built in 1740. Nice garden.

A hike to several of the overlooks at the Goat Hill Overlook (no cocktus) which is technically part of the Washington Crossing State Park, even if a separate area. It was bought relatively recently to preserve it and keep the historic scenic views open to the public. These scenic views were used in the old war by both Americans and British to observe troop movements, and probably sunsets, too.
