The Winter Hudson River Loop Walk is a one-day walk along the Hudson bordering NYC and NJ.  We start at the PATH station at Exchange Place in Jersey City and continue north along a nearly continuous Hudson River Waterfront Walkway on the Jersey side to the George Washington Bridge.  After the spectacular trip across the bridge, we connect to the Hudson River Greenway trail, head south and end at the World Trade Center. The PATH train returns you to Exchange Place. And if you prefer to do fewer miles you can stay in NJ, walk as far north as you choose, turn back or return via the light rail (at certain points) or an UBER to your starting point - another option.

In the event you chose not to finish in NYC you will find the MTA Broadway-Seventh Avenue local, the #1 train, always nearby during the second half of the walk.

The event is free and open to everyone, but we do encourage donations in support of the beautiful trails we use.  This walk is organized by the volunteers of FreeWalkers.org, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
