"On the day of my visit not all proposed segments of Bedminster’s Hike & Bikeway were open for public use. However, those segments open were freshly paved, well landscaped, and equipped with adequate safety signage near at-grade road crossings. With the exception of inclined ramps leading to several pedestrian bridges over major highways, the trail is completely flat.
When construction is fully completed the Hike & Bikeway will link residential neighborhoods divided by busy highways to recreation fields, schools, and municipally owned buildings within the Township. Children and adults will then be able to bike, in-line skate, and/or walk from point to point on motor vehicle free, or striped road shoulder bikeway routes.
Ample parking with convenient access to the off-road trail network is currently available behind the Police/Fire Department complex, off of US Route 202, or at River Road Park, near I-287. I printed a trail map from the official trail website and found it very handy to have along on my walk.
If you live near Bedminster, add this trail to your list of those to visit. Although its road shoulder/sidewalk segments are nothing to write home about, the off-road trail network is very pleasing. About ½ of the currently open 2.8-mile system is comprised of off-road trails."
