Path is very well maintained, except for the connector to Prospect Park is a bit worn (you can use the adjacent street). A great stress free route to Coney Island.
I rode this trail starting in toms River with my ultimate destination being southern Long Beach Island. This is really more two trails as the first section ends and you need to ride south on route nine for a stretch and pick up the trailhead again. There are many many intersections The total stretch of trail including the route nine portion is about 15 miles and deposits you in Stratford, New Jersey. Easy ride to Long Beach Island although getting on the boulevard is not really bicycle friendly.
Nice ride from Crystal lake park to the Delaware River. The on-road segment has a sidewalk which we used for safety, although not a lot of traffic. Restrooms at Crystal lake park. . Water was very rusty !!
They connected the two major pieces with an elevated bridge through the meadow park
Nice , pleasant ride though suburban areas, places to stop if one wishes, level with interesting things to see and experience. Side trip into preserves and beautiful Swedenborg church. Missed the connector to the lower part ( thought trail short no wonder) I shell return!
Overgrown and hard to follow We gave up even with mountain bikes when starting from Palmer Park. We are going to try another trail nearby
The section on the Upper West Side starting from 125th St going south is still closed for construction but will hopefully open soon albeit late. Also the section from 181st Street running to Dyckman St is also closed with zero announcements re what’s going on; could be a serious problem with sinkholes and the retaining wall. The good news is that we finally have a full size bike lane across the Henry Hudson Bridge. The bad news is that you still have to portage your bike up a 2 story railroad bridge into the Dyckman Park section of Inwood Hill Park. And in Riverdale it is on street from the bridge to Van Cortlandt park. Park
We rode from the Cementon trailhead out 10 miles to Slatington and back on March 19, 2025 and were disappointed in the conditions of the trail. Encountered large stones throughout the ride unlike the crushed stone base we experienced in previous rides in the spring of 24 and fall of 22. It was if someone maintaining the trail deposited large ballast rocks all along the trail surface really impacting the surface normally smooth ride. Also had to navigate many miles of bumpy tire tracks.
Great trail. Hoping for northward extension soon. Lunch at The Steam Pub in Southampton right next to the trail is a must for me. Don’t forget to head south, too, onto the contiguous Pennypack Rail Trail. It was extended last year (2024) into Philadelphia to SEPTA’s Fox Chase Regional Rail station. If you start there, you must pay to park at all times. The lot is managed by the city, not SEPTA. Continue even farther into center city Philadelphia with your bike on the train. See SEPTA’s website for rules regarding bicycles.
Such a nice walk with great views and walked 7.5 miles !! Great place, with great scenery!
Someone Special took me here summer of 2024 and it was a nice walk around the lake! Was going to come back in the spring unfortunately without that special someone ¿
