Walk Description: This walk begins at Weehawken Cove which was formerly Todd shipyards and also the place where Henry Hudson docked his ship, the Half Moon in 1609. The cove connects Weehawken and Hoboken. Hoboken has recently turned this once blighted area into beautiful park areas. Walk past the previous sites of Lipton Tea and Maxwell House Coffee.  Both of these sites are now high end condominiums.  Pass Union Dry Dock which is still a working dry dock facility, a skateboard park and a fishing pier, owned by Stevens Institute but leased to Hoboken as a public parkland, and enter a section of Walkway that is over the water and also part of Stevens Institute.  Next comes the magnificent Hoboken park area where two large piers have been converted to public parks.  The walk ends at the historic Hoboken Train Terminal where the Walkway goes through the Concourse of the Erie Lackawana Terminal and emerges to the east of the Light Rail Station going toward Jersey City.

Walk Distance: Approximately 2 miles  Walk Duration: About 2 hours
