The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway offers an incredible journey along the New Jersey side of the Hudson, providing continuous, postcard-perfect views of the Manhattan skyline. You'll traverse paved paths and boardwalks, passing iconic sights like the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and enjoying the dynamic river scenery. This extensive route, while rated difficult due to its sheer length, is mostly flat and accessible underfoot, making it a unique urban hiking experience.
For those tackling sections or the entire 66.1 miles (106.4 km), planning is key. The trail has numerous access points and is well-served by public transport, making it easy to start or finish your day. Parking is also available at various locations, including Liberty State Park, so you can choose your preferred trailhead. Given the 27 hours and 9 minutes estimated duration and 1163 feet (354 metres) of elevation gain, consider breaking this into multiple days.
This walkway is more than just a path; it's a vital part of the larger East Coast Greenway project, aiming to connect communities along the Atlantic coast. It links nine municipalities, offering a blend of natural beauty, re-developed urban spaces, and historical sites like the 1889 terminal of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. You'll find amenities like benches, fountains, and even restaurants along the way, enhancing the journey.
