Hackensack RiverWalk, also known as the Hackensack River Greenway, a is partially constructed greenway along the Newark Bay and Hackensack River in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The 18-mile (29 km) linear park, which closely follows the contour of the water's edge where possible, runs along the west side of Bergen Neck peninsula between its southern tip at Bergen Point (40°38′40″N 74°08′29″W / 40.644476°N 74.141422°W), where it would connect to the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, and the Eastern Brackish Marsh in the north (40°48′07″N 74°01′36″W / 40.801873°N 74.026798°W). The walkway passes through the contiguous municipalities of Bayonne (5.5 linear miles), Jersey City (5.6 linear miles), and Secaucus with a potential connection to a walkway in North Bergen. It passes through new and established residential neighborhoods, county and municipal parks, brownfields, industrial areas, commercial districts, and wetland preserves. While existing parks and promenades have been incorporated and new sections have been built there remain gaps. It will pass under sixteen bridges (some no longer in use) and cross over eight natural creeks. Since 1988, in accordance with the public trust doctrine New Jersey law requires new construction built within 100 feet (30 m) of the water must provide 30 feet (9.1 m) of public space along the water's edge. In September 2022, the Lower Hackensack was declared a federal superfund site, triggering a process to remediate and restore the water and shoreline. (en) |
