Explore New York City’s and New York State’s southernmost point: The “South Pole” at Wards Point within Conference House Park. The geographical southern tip of the State overlooks the confluence of the Raritan Bay, Raritan River, and Arthur Kill water bodies.

Shells, rocks, and stones of every shape and size can be found here. Just a short distance to the north of the South Pole is the park’s clay-colored bluffs where you can view city’s only exposed portion of the terminal moraine.
Not to be missed are the park’s other attractions: acres of woodland, four galleries, and five historic houses!
