Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail

D & L rail/canal trail

December, 2025 by toddengland

I just rode a portion of the trail from West Trenton to 2 miles north of Stockton. The path was a packed gravel path wide enough to drive a car down. The grade is very minimal the section I rode on. There are great views of the Delaware river the entire way. I would suggest browsing around the town of Lambertville. There are many quaint shops and restaurants to visit.

Perkiomen Trail

The perk

December, 2025 by twinbonz5

The hardest part is making it over springmount. I love the trail. I do it often. Made the 45 miles.

Joseph M. McDade Recreational Trail

Addition to very picturesque trail

November, 2025 by kaiser

The trail from Milford start point is on k for a few miles but turns to a rocky narrow trail not suitable for a bike , Start at Conashaugh trail head there is only 1 area where you have to walk down 1 set of stairs and go up another otherwise it get great .I wanted to add although I was able have a good ride on my mountain bike I would not recommend the use of any road bike .

Joseph M. McDade Recreational Trail

Very picturesque good trail .

November, 2025 by kaiser

This is a good trail & I would have enjoyed more if it were warmer and I did not ride in gale force winds. Bikers do yourself a favor from Milford grab a bite or drink as you have no food or drink areas until the end unless you ride when Dingmans campsite is open , you may get something there . Proceed 209 S to Conashaugh trail head unload and go south from there you will have about 18 miles to the end.

Sussex Branch Trail

Great For Fall Foliage

October, 2025 by 7zwbq79645

The trail is well maintained. Mostly passable with gravel bike except a small portion around Andover. The section around Andover is also hard to navigate.

Columbia Trail

¿¿ NJ RtoT. GEM of a trail !

October, 2025 by toddburrparts

Riding popular trails in each state Metro, New York area and NE. This trail was above expectation. Well maintained mix of packed gravel to packed stones. All wide capable of handling traffic and any type of biking running and some equestrian.. surprising mix of landscape from River Gorge to large animal farms. Lots to see highly recommended. Road from Bartley Road to Hoffman’s. Entry point Long Valley, Apple parking and food available quaint town.

Ironton Rail Trail

IRT

October, 2025 by xbj2d5dj7n

This is a well maintained beautiful trail. We parked at the trailhead at Levan’s road -nice pavilion and restroom to use. When you come to the loop at the end of the spur going right will avoid the hill people mention. It’s not extreme by any means but it will get your heart rate up a bit. We saw quite a few friendly people riding , walking and running. Loved the signage along the trail sharing the history in this area. April thru October check out the Chuckwagon drive in Ironton. Excellent sandwiches and ice cream.

Pennsy Trail (PA)
