Harlem Meer

Harlem Meer is a man-made lake located in the northeast corner of Central Park at 110 Street. Lake has plenty of turtles who come close to shore in anticipation of food. There are many ducks, geese, and different species of fish in this lake. You can either stand at the edge of the lake or sit on the surrounding benches and enjoy the view and enjoy the birds so close to you. There is some renovation going at the moment, but after it is over, I am sure the area will be more appealing than before.

Great to see the turtles and ducks in their nature.

Harlem Meer (lake) was transformed from swampy marsh into a lake as part of Central Park construction to provide a water body for esthetic and recreation purposes. Looks appealing now after recent renovation.

Neat little pond st the north end of central park where I love coming to enjoy a nice walk, walk my little 4 legged babies or justcrelax and get some fresh air. You czn come here read a book, take a nap or as many do walk or run laps around the Meer for great exercise. It's currently undergoing renovation so once it's complete it will look even better hope done by this spring/summer. Here youll see different types of fish and cute turtles swimming around, not to mentioned the geese aswell.

Another Gem in the Big City...Central Park is an amazing place with so many options and natural features. Harlem Meer is a lovely place within the park. A tranquil and relaxing spot to just watch the day go by.
