Hackensack River Greenway, once known as the Hackensack RiverWalk,[1] is a partially constructed greenway along the Newark Bay and Hackensack River in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States.[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 (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), where it would connect to the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, and the Eastern Brackish Marsh in the north (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).[7] The walkway passes through the contiguous municipalities of Bayonne (5.5 linear miles),[8][9][10][11] Jersey City (5.6 linear miles), and Secaucus[12][13] with a potential connection to a walkway in North Bergen.[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.[14] It will pass under sixteen bridges (some no longer in use) and cross over eight natural creeks.[15] A section will run concurrently with the proposed Essex - Hudson Greenway and it will intersect with the proposed Morris Canal Greenway.

After a preliminary assessment in 2015,[16] in September 2022 the Lower Hackensack was declared a federal superfund site, triggering a process to remediate and restore the water and shoreline.[17][18][19]

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.[20] In 2025, the Jersey City Municipal Council approved the creation of the "Hackensack River Greenway Overlay", new zoning mandates that developers building along the riverfront reserve at least 30 feet (9.1 m) of land for a public riverfront walkway to safely accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, equipped with lighting, seating, bike racks, landscaping and routine maintenance. Additionally, developers must provide public access points to the river every 300 feet (91 m).[21]

The Hackensack River Greenway Through Teaneck is a National Recreation Trail[22] which is not connected to the one in Hudson County.
