access to the Hudson River in Liberty State Park, Jersey City, I literally stumbled onto the ruins of an ancient castle. Walking down the narrow path through the ten-foot tall marsh grass I came upon a stone castle built from thousands of individual concrete bricks.Measuring only about two feet tall and seven feet across, the ruin is lying directly in the path. I have not been able to find any explanation for it being there. Further on down the trail is another ground sculpture which I can only describe as red rolling hills.
There are many more of these oddities hidden throughout the many winding paths through the cattails and bulrushes.
To find these creations, go to Liberty State Park and stop at the interpretive center on freedom way. Walk the red brick path to the right of the building. Go thirty six paces beyond the first sitting pavilion and turn left onto the dirt path into the reeds. When the trail divides, go right. Be forewarned that this is a No Trespassing area, and the first time I emerged from this exploration my clothes were encrusted with large wood ticks!
