Embark on the Hudson River Greenway – Hudson River Greenway loop from 9th Street–Congress Street for a touring bicycle adventure that truly delivers on views. This route guides you along extensive waterfront pathways, through urban parks, and past marshlands, offering continuous, sweeping panoramas of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island. The highlight for many is the smooth, wide lane of the Port Imperial Waterfront section, providing an unparalleled visual experience of New York City from across the river.
Planning your ride on this moderate 47.4-mile (76.2 km) loop, which includes 1203 feet (367 metres) of elevation gain and takes about 4 hours and 39 minutes, is straightforward. The starting point is easily reached by public transport, making it a convenient option for many. While mostly paved, be prepared for some potentially unpaved segments, particularly as you approach the notable climb from River Road in Fort Lee up to the George Washington Bridge (GWB).
This loop offers a distinct experience compared to the Manhattan Greenway, focusing on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. It's a fantastic way to see iconic landmarks and enjoy a substantial ride without the constant bustle of Manhattan itself. The varied terrain and the impressive GWB climb make it a rewarding choice for cyclists seeking a blend of urban exploration and scenic beauty.
