Bogota was the site of two important Native American trails which still exist as River Road and Fort Lee Road. It was most likely used as a hunting and fishing ground. Overnight, or short term, camping was also possible during these hunting and fishing trips. Bogota was not an ideal site to locate a village because the Hackensack River would hinder movement to the west of the village (for instance to gather firewood). The topology was heavy woods, hills, and a flat, marshy section near the river.
