Had to really look thru all the shrubbery and trees to get a view of anything, otherwise just a narrow path to the end and back.
Great trail, super smooth to ride on and got a chance to see some great wildlife on the lake as well. Some stairs do get pretty steep to carry bikes up, but you’ll be able to cover most of the ground on a bike no problem.
We started at the Cape May Zoo (north end of the path). The path consists of an asphalt strip, straight as an arrow in a 60' wide clearing filled with dead vegetation and between 2 rows of high voltage utility poles. The path was closed 2 miles in and we were forced to detour along busy Route 9. After we found our way back to the path, it was closed again a mile farther South. It was the same story - closed for construction with no Detour signs. We gave up at that point. Maybe someday the path will be re-opened and it will have nice plantings. But for now - go elsewhere.
This path was a nice surprise. Wide, flat, well paved path in a wooded area. All shade. If you’re looking for an adventure or challenge, this path is not for you. But it’s a great way to spend an hour or two getting a moderate workout in a beautiful natural setting.
Ride this in combination with the boardwalk and path to second avenue. Makes the total ride almost 4 miles each way
The family and I did this trail and it was quite we stopped short of the traffic circle and turned around. We parked at the culdesac at the end of Dehirsch ave and rode from there. My 8yo has a new BMX bike and completed our round trip with no problem. Be careful of traffic around the airport and the Ford and Chevy dealerships
Just discovered this trail. Perfect easy bike ride through the countryside passing farm field after farm field. Love it. Will be riding or walking there again soon.
This is a great local option. We walked the triangle (south branch-north branch-Hanover St). Great for youngsters on foot or bicycle.
Rode this a few days ago (Fri 8/21) and encountered closure at Goshen Road. Was turned back by a worker. Heavy equipment (crane or drilling?) present. Told completion end October.
Rode again Sun and barrier extended across the path to the grass on both sides. I didnt bother to see if I could portage across the work zone.
Nice well-paved trail. Pretty quiet. Not heavily used. Users polite. Everyone moves over on their side. Dog owners choke up on the leash on approach. Good for birdwatching as well w lots of woods in the upper portion.
The trail goes all the way to Cape May. At the very end of the trail, cross the busy intersection (they are nice to bikes) and go left towards the bridge. There are bikes lanes on both sides. 2 miles in is the beach. Great ride. 30 miles there and back if you do the full trail to the beach.
I skates about two thirds of it starting at the zoo. The asphalt wasn't great at the start but it quickly became smooth. A few crossings at the start too but then there are decent length sections without any. It's mostly not along a road, which is nice too.
