Be careful on this trail

This is a great trail and I love it. You want to start it in Clinton. It is actually over about 6.5 miles from there. But as another post alludes to. This trail get very dicey on the back end of it towards pittstown. Very narrow, rocky and rutty. Coming back is mostly downhill and you pick up some good speed. I hit a rock with my pedal last year on the back end of this trail and wiped out breaking 3 ribs, so take the back end slow with a tight grip on your bars.

I no longer go north of the 2nd wooden rail bridge on this trail.
Nice interesting trail running next to the Capoolong Creek.

Wife and I had a nice ride on this trail that is mostly narrow single track. Met several horses on our bike ride. The scenery is just beautify, and you can hear the creek babbling as you ride in many places. I found the derelict station at the end quite intriguing. Note: my wife did not rate this trail as easy, due to water erosion that created a narrow trail "channel" in several places. The trail went from better to worse, so if you find the going not to your liking, you can turn around.

We parked in Clinton NJ and took the Landsdown Trail south to the Capoolong trailhead (well, some maps show it as the AT&T right-of-way), which adds another 2 miles one way to the trip. Thus, the combined trails make for a 10+ mile round trip, a nice way to spend a summer afternoon!

"This is a great trail. It's scenic and flat. An extension of the trail, about two miles, brings you into the town of Clinton."
