Overpeck County Park provides for excellent race viewing. Almost the entire race course is visible from the elevated west banks of Overpeck Lake. An observation deck about 250 meters before the finish line provides for an excellent place to see the end of each race.

Directions

There are two entrances to Overpeck Park:

A) 199 Challenger Road: Coming from the South, take exit 68 off the NJ Turnpike, turn left at the end of the ramp, and enter Overpeck County Park. Follow the park road through one traffic circle, then over the two arched bridges, and then take the first exit at the second traffic circle. After a few hundred feet turn right into the trailer staging area.

B) 50 Fort Lee Road:  Coming from the NYC area cross over the George Washington Bridge, merge on NJ 46 W, and exit very quickly onto Fort Lee Road. Follow Fort Lee Road down the hill through Leonia, until you cross some railroad tracks. Turn left at the light into Overpeck County Park. At the traffic circle take the second exit. After a few hundred feet turn right into the trailer staging area.
