The Lenape34 is a one-day 34-mile walk scheduled for Columbus Day along the Lenape Trail in Essex County, NJ. The FreeWalkers are organizing this walk to help support the 130-mile Liberty Water Gap Trail (LWGT) across the state, of which the Lenape Trail is a major segment.
Lenape Trail Overview
The Lenape Trail was first established over 30 years ago by Al Kent, a retired trail coordinator who wanted to connect as many natural resources and points of interest in Essex County as he could, traversing towns, parks, woodlands, and residential areas along the way. Our walk along the trail takes you from the peak of South Mountain to urban Newark. The Lenape Trail is currently going through a revitalization effort largely due to the effort of Steve Marano who also directs the effort to finalize the LWGT.
