In 2022, NJDEP acquired 9 miles of abandoned rail line spanning throughout Essex and Hudson counties with the intent to create a thriving recreation and transportation corridor. This year, we begin turning that dream into a reality by creating the Essex-Hudson Greenway with the help of our Public Land Administration & Parks team and State of New Jersey. 

“In a state as small and dense as ours, this project exemplifies our belief that we can take previously underutilized or overlooked properties and turn them into points of civic pride to better our communities and environment.”
