The Riverbend is a district at the southern end of Harrison, New Jersey at the knee, or bend, in the Passaic River in western part of Hudson County. It lies across from the Downtown Newark between the Jackson Street Bridge and the Bridge Street Bridge[1] in the vicinity of the Newark–World Trade Center line of the PATH rail system and the Northeast Corridor, which both make use of the Dock Bridge. Red Bull Arena, opened in 2010, anchors the east side of the neighborhood.[2][3][4][5][6] Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard (County Route 697), named for the town's long-term mayor, is the district's main thoroughfare.

As its name suggests it lies at a meander (in this case a "S' curve) in the Hackensack between the New Jersey Turnpike Eastern Spur and where the Belleville Turnpike and the Newark-Jersey City Turnpike converge to cross the Wittpenn Bridge. In the river not far from the mouth of the tributary Penhorn Creek is the point where the municipal borders of Jersey City, Secaucus, and Kearny meet.
