Muscota Marsh, Public wetland park in Inwood, Manhattan, US.

The one-acre Muscota Marsh contains both freshwater and salt marsh environments next to Spuyten Duyvil Creek of the Harlem River.

Columbia University constructed this park as part of a development agreement in 2014, selecting James Corner Field Operations to execute the design.

The name originates from the Lenape language, meaning 'place of rushes', reflecting the indigenous connection to the natural environment.

The park includes walking paths, benches, educational signs, and a dock that supports kayaking and canoeing activities along the waterfront.

The park functions as a natural water filtration system, processing rainwater runoff before it enters the adjacent river system.

Location: Manhattan

GPS coordinates: 40.87330,-73.91840
