The walkway passes through the contiguous municipalities of Bayonne, Jersey City, and Secaucus with a potential connection to a walkway in North Bergen. It passes through new and established residential neighborhoods, county and municipal parks, brownfields, industrial areas, commercial districts, and wetland preserves.
