The Liberty - Water Gap Trail

Connecting the Hudson River to the Delaware Water Gap

This site provides information and maps pertaining to most aspects of the trail.

Photos from each section of the trail are also presented.

The trail is for non-motorized multi-use recreational activity. It connects five counties in New Jersey. Uses along the trail vary depending on compatibility with the environment and policies of park agencies managing existing trails. The trail promotes appreciation of our cultural history and natural landscapes.

For the most part, the trail is the interconnection of four existing trails:

Lenape Trail - Essex County
Patriots' Path - Morris County
Sussex Branch Trail - Sussex County
Paulinskill Valley Trail - Sussex & Warren Counties

Additionally, it routes from the Hudson River Walkway (Hudson County) through Jersey City, and in Newark it passes through historic Branch Brook Park.
