A one-day 30-mile walk along the Hudson bordering NYC and NJ. The official start is at the PATH station at Exchange Place, Jersey City where the walk begins north along a nearly continuous Hudson River Waterfront Walkway on the NJ side to the George Washington Bridge. Walking over the bridge we connect to the Hudson River Greenway trail heading south to the World Trade Center PATH station connecting back to Exchange Place.
- DETOURS: The walk will include optional detours thru Burdett's Landing in Edgewater and the famous High Line elevated walkway below 30th Street.
- START/STOP: There are also, optional places to start and finish. Map out your own walk, take a train, ferry or bus to/from many points along the way.
The walk is FREE and open to everyone. Support will be provided by the East Coast Greenway Alliance and the Hudson River Walkway Conservancy. Other sponsors are welcome.

Abhishek,
Love the idea of a collective group. Yeah, sure - walk or run - whatever. I think you'll probably want to ID yourselves. I think it might be something to think about for future walks too.

No, there is no toll on the GWB for walkers (or bicyclists). I've heard that, long ago, there was a toll for walkers on the Brooklyn Bridge, but I haven't heard of any bridges in the NYC area that currently have a walker toll.

June 9th will be my first time walking with this group and sounds like the June walk is a great way to get introduced! I, like James, look forward to walking over the GWB! Do we have to pay a toll? .....just sayin :)

The Sounds of a Long Walk
Just a few days ago, I noticed, maybe for the first time, the sounds of the Great Canal Walk. For most of the 40 miles and 15 hours that day there was an absence of sound in this body of water as still as glass on that calm day....
