Easy hike one direction from the parking lot to a great little waterfall (walk along road most of way, then very short distance along creek). Hike the other direction from the parking lot to the actual Constitution Marsh - great easy hike (some uphill climbs on rocks but easy to follow paths) that takes you to a walkway over the marsh on the Hudson River. Stunning views and a view of West Point directly across the river.
