Shore Fast Line
By Carl Schrass on November 06, 2006
"The trail is a very enjoyable one, overall. The northern end goes through some marginal neighborhoods in Pleasantville, though. It's too bad the northern end of the trail has been closed off at the U.S. Route 40/322 former railway bridge. Navigating to the north side of the bridge through the neighborhoods, you can see the disused ""off ramp"" leading down from the bridge. The trail's name should be changed to honor the former trolley line that ran on the right of way, The Shore Fast Line. It connected Atlantic City and Ocean City until it ceased operation in the late 1940's. "
Impressive
By Rich Kennedy on September 13, 2003
I just completed this trail and can say that it's getting better and better (although there are many road crossings where caution is necessary). The trail has a good asphalt surface that is well maintained. The flat trail makes for a good family ride. There are also two good deli stops halfway.

I was impressed!!
Look close and you'll find a handcycle on the bicycle path not too far from Somers Point.
