We had a beautiful day riding this trail! There were a lot of people, however, that's to be expected on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The only downside was that we were stopped and given a warning, with my name taken and entered into the officers computer, by a County Sherif officer that e-bikes are prohibited in all Bergen County parks. Unfortunately we won't be back to this trail again.
Truly loved this trail we went on a Sunday September, we had our electric bikes it was so much fun. Coming back for sure!
Does anyone know if the trail is open between Jim Thorpe train station & Weissport is open? We are heading there this weekend of 9/13-15/2024. It’s been closed for most of the spring/summer season 2024 for construction. Just curious if we shout just head to the Weissport parking lot. Although the trail between JT & Weissport is a fun ride.
It should be used mostly for walking back and forth. Really good for the kids or folk just learning to ride their bicycle. I used it to practice clipping in and out of my pedals. It's also really neat and clean. Also a lil park as well.
Biked the entire run, from Woodbury to Massapequa. Completely paved path the entire way. Only half-dozen “small bumps” along the entire way due to tree roots, but seriously, nothing to complain about.
Confusing “trail” - poorly maintained,poorly marked. Felt a bit sketchy so to be clear I did not do the whole trail.
On Monday, 05 August 2024, I rode my road bike from Keyport to Leonardo along what I believed would be one of New Jersey's premier paved paths. It's obvious it was once a wonderful path, but that was years ago. The path is disappointingly neglected and is no fun at all to ride on: the asphalt pavement is epidemically root-riven. Some places need to be resurfaced and the wide crevices filled in. I would go so far as to say that the path needs to be rebuilt! It's a shame, too, because the path traverses lovely woods that offer shade from a blazing summer sun.
That same day I had ridden the bay-side section of the Henry Hudson Trail. That part runs right beside the bay and is constructed of finely crushed stone. It's beautiful and is a joy to ride on, even on a road bike!
It's easy to get from the bay-side of the HHT to the bike path that threads up through Sandy Hook to Fort Hancock -- and that route is nothing short of magnificent!
But, from Keyport to Leonardo -- just skip it.
Wife and I had a nice ride through the trail. Will definitely be back. Nice area and plenty of benches along the way to sit and relax.
Entered on Millstream. The first 4 miles were very pleasant, wide gravel which was firmly packed. Then it got a rather loose like pine barren sand. I have a hybrid so I was able to maneuver okay but my ride became a bit more stressful. Then after going through the tunnel under 195, the trail became less maintained and more narrow. It was a fun ride, especially since it was pretty straight. Several small bridges, farms and wooded. Very friendly people! It was an enjoyable trail but I doubt I will repeat.
Great ride on a Saturday mid - day. Went north from Washington’s crossing to bull island on NJ side over the pedestrian bridge and back on the Pa side. Be aware that on PA canal path there is a closure about 3 miles south of new Hope, right by the graves of Washington’s crossing , to continue the loop to NJ you either need to double back to Cross at new Hope or ride on rt32 south a few miles to return to the canal path.
I recommend taking Barnegat lake drive between Musket and South to avoid the section of the trail that is barely passable. The rest of the trail is really nice.
