G20264 6/20
Welcome to the Henry Hudson Trail (HHT)This mostly paved, 10-foot wide, 24-mile long trail is a former railroad right-of-way. It is relatively flat, traveling through both man-made and natural environments. Much of the trail is tree-lined, though some parts have views of surrounding wetlands, streams and fields.
The 12-mile North Section travels east to west, roughly parallel to Route 36 from the Highlands through the Bayshore to Aberdeen. The 12-mile South Section is still under construction but almost 10 miles are now open for use. Eventually, the trail will travel continuously from Highlands, west and south through the heart of Monmouth County to Freehold.
About the Trail• Hours: Open from dawn to dusk
• Multi-Use: Walkers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians are welcome (motorized vehicles are not allowed)
• Pets Allowed: Dogs must be on a leash and under control; pet/horse clean up is required
• Protocol: Bicyclists yield to all trail users, pedestrians yield to equestrians
• Safety Gear: Bicyclists, in-line skaters and skate-boarders under age 17 are required to wear a helmet. (Appropriate safety gear is recommended for everyone.)
• Amenities: There are restrooms at the HHT Activity Center on Route 36 and at Popamora Point, both open daily from 8am to 1/2 hour before dusk. There are no other restrooms or water fountains on the trail itself.
• Route Planning: At a brisk pace, it takes about 20 minutes to walk 1 mile (1.6 km). Please stay aware of travel distance; unless you have arranged for pick-up, you will need to travel back the way you came.
• Parking/Trail Access: See maps.
Please adhere to all posted rules. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted. Park Rangers who maintain and supervise the trail are vested with police powers.
