We had substantial flooding here due to thunderstorms one Thursday in June, (Much of the path is adjacent to the saddle River) and yet the all the affected areas had been completely cleared of silt and sand within two days.
Multiple places to park and multi-use areas such as playgrounds and ball fields along the path make it a winner as well.

The path crosses no roads, except for the parking lot in Ridgewood. You don't have to worry about cars. There are a few split offs to go to a few towns parking lots. The trail is 6 miles each way. That's from the Ridgewood Duckpond to Paramus road/route 4. This is the main route and every 10th of a mile they have mile posts. If it rains heavily the day before Ridgewood leg gets dirty because it's right next to the river,all the other parts are fine. They have plenty of benches if you need to rest,but the trail has no lighting.

I would like to take my daughter for a bike ride and do the whole path. Although I can view the map just fine and can see the general route, sometimes it's not quite so clear from the ground. Can anyone let me know if the trail is clearly marked? Particular when it crosses car roads or turns off in another direction? Thanks!
