The Newtown Creek Nature Walk is a self-guided, waterfront nature walk located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, along Newtown Creek and Whale Creek. Richly planted with native trees, shrubs and other flora, the Nature Walk revives a long-inaccessible industrial shoreline for public use as a waterfront promenade. The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) manages the Nature Walk and the adjacent Newtown Creek Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility. Learn more about the walk’s unique features with DEP’s educational brochure or take a virtual tour with the artist, George Trakas.
