Description:
United States Avenue Trail, which is also know locally as the "Green Trail" travels through a primarily wooded landscape between Foster Avenue and Egg Harbor Road in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. At the Foster Avenue end, the trail starts in front of the police station. For the convenience of trail users there's a bike rack here. The trail heads southeast to United States Avenue where it turns south. After crossing a driveway the trail enters the woods. The setback of the trail into the woods helps to separate trail users from the traffic along United States Avenue. Paying homage to the town's history, a set of rails has been left in place between the trail surface and the roadway. Gibbsboro's evolving off road trail network intersects the rail trail in several locations. The entrance to Lindenwold Memorial Park intersects the trail at about its midpoint. The park contains ball fields, concession stand, amphitheater, walking path and tot lot. The trail emerges from the woods and passes another congregation of athletic fields and a large parking area. The bike trail officially ends before crossing Egg Harbor Road. A sidewalk continues on the other side of Egg Harbor Road and is carried across an active railroad on a pedestrian bridge.

Great trails and view of Philadelphia skyline
By zdotes in August, 2011
Me and my husband walk this trail often. Last night around 7pm will walked the path that starts off of RT561 and continued over United States Avenue to side of the path. There is a steep climb up Blueberry Hill, but well worth it. At the top you can view the Philadelphia skyline, who would have ever considered seeing the skyline from Gibbsboro! There are the occassional quad, but they are making there way to a wide open quarry to ride, they have all been courteous while passing walkers. Also leashed dogs with respectable owners make there way through this beautiful landscape.
Gibbsboro Bikeway System
By ecampbel1 in January, 2010
The Gibbsboro Bikeway System is about five miles in length, almost all off road or behind the curb. The system includes a number of connecting paved trails. Trails that wind through the Gibbsboro Greenway. Remote paths/traisl are color coded - red, green, and blue - and include color-coded mile markers measured to each tenth of a mile. These serve asemergency identifiers and for accurate measurement of distances for persons interested in timed and measured exercises.

The bikeway system winds around Gibbsboro and includes scenic vistas that offer a scenic view of the Phildelphia skyline during good weather with low humidity (Gibbsboro is abut 14 miles southest of downtown Philadelphia). A map of the system is available at the town web site (www.gibbsborotownhall.com) in the December issue of the town newsletter (The Town Crier). The system connects to bike lanes or trails in neighboring Lindenwold and Voorhees Township. Gibbsboro has been particpating with Camden County in the development of a County-wide bikeway plan to evolve and synergize with the many municipal systems evolving in Camden County. The plan was funded with a grant from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions (ANJEC).
