I rode this trail on 10/26. It is fine crushed stone with a paved section that heads toward New Egypt. Good ride with some minor grade changes. The ride took a little over 2 hours to complete. Bathrooms and parking areas were nicely spaced on the trail.
Actually, it's pretty good in that it is paved, level and well-maintained. Not super scenery but pleasant enough. Worth riding if you're looking for an easy fifteen miles on a different trail.
Well-maintained level scenic paved trail. Lots to see--ocean, beach, bay, various watercraft, deer, fox, birds, fauna, all sorts of military relics (missiles, cannon) and ruins (Fort Hancock), views of Manhattan skyline, and the oldest lighthouse in the USA. The direct main trail is only about 7 miles from the south parking lot but you can easily add a few riding around Fort Hancock. We rode in late October 2025. It probably gets very hot in the summer. I GUESS there's usually a fee to drive into the area (National Park) but there was no fee when we were there, perhaps because off season, perhaps because of government shut down.
My 1st time on this trail today. Gorgeous trail and autumn leaves are colorful! Worth a visit for sure!
Great trail but it makes you drive with cars going 45mphom some parts
Such beautiful bike path going next to shore through wood like settings into old army base around island. Very safe scenic and smooth ride our new favorite place to go.
I walk these trails often. It’s one of my happy places.
Living in Middlesex county are and getting into biking it’s good long path and safe. Has lot bumps as other reviews and lots stops with street crossings. Started at Gerard St and made it down just past Keansburg area roughly 14 miles round trip. Hard to keep fast momentum or consistent pace with stops but as a beginner it’s great place to ride safely
We rode the south segment (Freehold to Big Brook Park), 12 miles RT. It was lovely for a leisurely ride. But with many street crossings and twists in the trail, as well as bumps from roots, it’s not great if you are looking to get any consistent speed. Also, we went in Labor Day, so lots of foot traffic and families riding in groups. Nevertheless, we look forward to trying the other segments.
A peasant 15 mile RT ride. Nothing remarkable about the trail, but nothing to complain about either. Glad we tried it!
Beautiful ride through woodlands and farmland. The crushed stone can be a little tricky in spots where it is slightly piled up and a couple of gravelly spots. There are a few small hills and a short ride alongside busy Forked River Road. I would like to go again during peak foliage.
