“I absolutely love and enjoy going on walks here specially during these covid times! Literally one of my favorite things to do while living in Hudson County. The Walkway is super long so you can literally go from North Bergen to Jersey City. You will find people walking, running and even biking. The view is a major plus because who doesn’t love a nice walk with an even better view?? I know I do!”
