There are many local cross streets on this trail, so keep an eye out. Some of the approaches to these streets are on a bit of an incline, so that would hope to slow you down. I do believe that the trail will gradually find its way westward little by little; the funding was already in place.

This trail is a prototypical New Jersey cyclng experience, an arrow-straight shot through pine trees and marshlands. It provides a very nice corridor of quietude in a busy region. That same quality, as noted in another review, means it's bereft of any facilities so be self sufficient if you plan on travelling the entire length and back. Hopefully, some way will be found at the eastern end to get cyclists safely through the congestion of the Shore Mall and a Garden State Parkway interchange if they want to continue to Atlantic City. Also, the abandoned rail corridor extends from the western end through Mays Landing, all the way to Newfield, NJ. Let hope that can be reclaimed with the same first-rate results as the existing trail was.

My husband and I along with our beagle, Vicki, in tow, traveled this trail on a very warm August morning. Bring along plenty of water as the trail is mostly sunny. But be warned there are no accomodations along the way. As the trail is paved, biking is quite easy (even towing a 35 lb beagle!). We plan to bike it again when we are camping in the area.

"We rode this completely paved trail in August. With very little incline, except at some road crossings, it makes for a nice family ride, although it may be a little long for the younger family members.

There are no refreshment stops unless you plan on checking out the Shore Mall (lock your bike securely). Bring your own refreshments if you would rather stick to the trail.

Some benches or picnic tables would be a nice addition to this new trail, but having another old rail right of way put to good use is a great resource in this part of southern Jersey."
