New Brunswick

In New Brunswick, the 9/11 National Memorial Trail follows the Raritan River corridor through central New Jersey. Approaching from the southwest, the route utilizes sections of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park towpath, providing a continuous, multi-use trail connection through canal towns and river landscapes. Entering the city, the trail transitions onto city streets and river-adjacent paths near Rutgers University, crossing the Raritan River via the Landing Lane Bridge to reach downtown New Brunswick. From there, the route continues northeast through Middlesex County along a combination of bike-friendly roads and shared-use paths, linking communities along the Raritan River and Raritan Bay corridor as it progresses toward northern New Jersey and ultimately New York City.
