Great Ride
By adamgee in June, 2010
I love this ride. I've done it on bike several times, as well once on roller blades. I found both enjoyable, although roller-blading was tough because a) I'm inexperienced and b) the wind can be a bit strong.

The whole ride is very pretty, especially later in the evening because the sun sets over the water.

You can park in Cedar creek for free. During summer months you have to pay to park at Jones Beach.

Definitely recommended! Enjoy :)
Rollerbladers Ruin This One
By David in July, 2003
"Unfortunately the rollerbladers ruin this trail. They sway back and forth along the entire width of the trail and they all wear headphones so even when you scream ""On Your Left"" they don't really hear. "
