A Night Out On Main Street [8-10 Mile LOOP Hike]

Join Metrotrails for this quirky urban night hike, which will take advantage of NJTransit to ensure that it is a loop. The premise is simple, walk the entire length of Main Street / Main Ave from Paterson heading south where we will finally end up in the Delawanna neighborhood of Clifton, NJ.

**Please meet promptly at 5:15 PM in Clifton NJ at the NJ Transit Delawanna Station. There is ample free parking in the Delawanna Station Lot (209 Delawanna Ave, Clifton NJ).** NOTE: We will be taking the 5:35 PM train from Delawanna Station and heading 15 minutes north and arriving at Paterson Station at 5:50 PM.

Once arriving in Paterson, the hike will begin. We will start our hike by walking briefly north up Memorial Drive toward Bridge Street and then walk across the Passaic River via the Arch Street Bridge. Next we will head toward the northern point of Main Street Paterson, where it intersects with Presidential Boulevard. Once on Main Street in Paterson, the hike will be simple. We will walk / follow Main Street heading south and continuing on through Paterson. Eventually Main Street changes its name to Main Ave as we approach the City of Clifton, however the road remains the same.

After walking through Paterson we will enter Clifton and then eventually the City of Passaic where we will walk through via its historic Main Ave. After walking through Passaic we will again enter Clifton heading south toward Delawanna Station, where we began the hike. **The hike should be between 8-9 miles in total length.**

Please keep in mind this will be an urban night hike so feel free to bring a flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes as we will be on concrete sidewalks / streets the entire time. We will pass many stores to grab food and drink should it be deemed necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Meetup.
