Hackensack River Greenway

[2][3][4][5][6] 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 / 40.644476; -74.141422), 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 / 40.801873; -74.026798).

[1] 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.

[16] After a preliminary assessment in 2015,[17] in September 2022 the Lower Hackensack was declared a federal superfund site, triggering a process to remediate and restore the water and shoreline.

[18][19][20] The Hackensack River Greenway Through Teaneck is a National Recreation Trail[21] which is not connected to the one in Hudson County.
