Raritan River Greenway, Protected area along Raritan River in Somerset County, New Jersey.
The Raritan River Greenway stretches roughly 3 miles from Red Oak Way in Bridgewater to Nevius Street with paved paths for bicycles and gravel trails for walking. The corridor combines hard-packed surfaces with softer routes to serve different users.
The greenway incorporates former railroad bridges and track beds from New Jersey's industrial era. This old transportation infrastructure has been transformed into a public recreational corridor.
The greenway links neighboring towns through a continuous trail system and features signs explaining the Raritan Power Canal's role in the area's past. Walkers can discover stories about the canal while moving through the landscape.
The site can be accessed through several parking areas, including the Sellars Maintenance Facility on Old York Road and Duke Island Park. These multiple entry points let visitors choose where to start their visit.
A higher section of the trail offers views across to the south side of the Raritan River and the land beyond. This elevated point reveals the river valley from a different vantage.
