Empire Fulton Ferry: A Scenic Retreat in Brooklyn

Getting There

• Subway

  If you're near a subway station, take the F train to York Street station. Once you arrive at York Street, exit the station and walk towards the waterfront (approximately a 10-minute walk). Head north on Jay Street, then turn left on Water Street. Continue straight until you reach Empire Fulton Ferry Park, located at 1 Water St.

• Bus

  You can also take the B25 or B67 bus lines to the Dumbo area. For the B25, get off at the stop near Jay St & York St. From there, walk towards the waterfront, heading north on Jay Street, then turn left on Water Street until you reach Empire Fulton Ferry Park at 1 Water St. The B67 stops at several locations, but you can also get off at Jay St & Front St, which will lead you to the same direction.

• Walking

  If you're already in Dumbo or nearby areas like Brooklyn Heights, you can walk to Empire Fulton Ferry Park. From the Brooklyn Bridge Park area, head towards Main Street and continue walking towards the waterfront. Follow the promenade along the East River until you see the signs for Empire Fulton Ferry, located at 1 Water St.

• Ferry

  For a scenic route, consider taking a ferry from Manhattan. You can board the East River Ferry from various terminals (e.g., Wall Street/Pier 11 or 34th Street). The ferry will take you directly to Dumbo's Jane's Carousel stop, which is a short walk away from Empire Fulton Ferry. Once you disembark, walk towards Water Street and follow it to the park entrance.
