In an industrial part of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a creekside path comes alive with plants, shore critters, and songbirds. This flat 1-mile Trek prompts walkers to discover the urban nature that perseveres in a seemingly inhospitable area along Newtown Creek. The landscape will leave you feeling inspired to tap into your own inner resourcefulness.
The entrance to the Newtown Creek Nature Walk is a ~20 minute walk from the nearest subway (the G train), but you can easily make a day of exploring Greenpoint's charming shops, restaurants, and waterfront paths.
The Trek ends with a reflection prompt, so feel free to bring a pen and paper with you if you'd like to journal.
This Trek can support different wellness focuses, with its natural setting and guided moments helping you connect in the way you need most.

Living in NYC, I always seek out "micro-moments" of nature in the urban environment. Newtown Creek Nature Walk is one of my favorite hidden gems in the city, and I go on walks and runs here often to clear my head and reflect. I also love reading about the fascinating natural history of this area!
