Monroe Township Bike Path

Trail is mostly in the woods. Flat and smooth. Small trail at the high school football stadium leads to a dog park & clean port-a-potty. Very pretty and relaxing ride.

Pemberton Rail-Trail

Great place to Jog

October, 2024 by nancylynn22

This was a great place to jog. I just did the loop, (not the tail part of it) and that was 2.5 miles. Benches along the way which I used to stretch before and after. The trails were pretty with the colorful fall trees. It was quiet until you get to the street part, but it’s a short distance.

Middle Township Bike Path

Not much to see but the Zoo was a bonus

October, 2024 by adab

This trail is well maintained & marked but there isn’t much to see as it follows the power lines through no man’s land. However!, the Cape May Zoo was really nice & free!

Dennis Township Bike Path

Seaville to Cape May

September, 2024 by cbrassington18

Parked at the Dennis Township Bike path train head. The parking area and trail were easy to find. However, there were only two marking spots in the small lot which could be an issue on busier weekends. Rode the trail to route 9 in Cape May before taking route 9 to the Lincoln Blvd beach entrance. The trail has quite a few road crossings on busy roads that will drop your average pace a fair bit. The trail is all paved and also includes mile markers at every .1 miles which is a very nice feature. Overall, a great trail to ride.

United States Avenue Trail

Enjoyable for sure

September, 2024 by jennifer279

Recently biked this paved trail then peeled off to explore Blueberry Hill trails. I have a mountain bike with tires able to cruise streets and the gravel--I had some trouble in the deeper sandy areas close to the quarry. I loved exploring back here, as there are paved trails in BH but also the more typical rolling hill wooded trails too. I made it an 11-mile ride as I was also stopping for some geocaches in the Blueberry Hills.

Cold Spring Bike Path

Straight paved trail. Connects to two other trails.

September, 2024 by nnesky

We bicycled the Cold Spring Bike Path, the Middle Township Bike Path and the Dennis Township Bike Path. They are fully connected, paved and straight. It's like a highway from north to south. It follows the power lines and is mostly sunny. There's very little to see along the way. It's great for exercise - bicycling, jogging, inline skating, pushing a stroller. The best part - no cars!!

Gloucester Township Health and Fitness Trail (aka Blackwood Railroad Trail)

The tunnel is finally asphalt and the barriers are gone. We are finally about to finish the trail on the other side of 42 again. Yay! Let's hope that actually extend it like they plan on doing.

Monroe Township Bike Path

Absolute Favorite Trail... Top 3 I've ever Biked...

August, 2024 by traillink989

I think you'll really enjoy this trail. I've biked it over a dozen times, and it never disappoints. One of my favorite activities is riding this trail with some friends, drinking and driving and and doing a few sprints. The trail is very clean, and the only issue I’ve had was with gnats once, but my sunglasses took care of that. The path is mostly shaded, with about 80% of it lined with beautiful, towering trees that provide a cool breeze. It runs alongside townhomes and farmlands, adding to the scenic experience.

We usually park near the health facility off the main road and start our ride by the large metal tube factory.

p.s. - i always feel bad for the people who skateboard or walk this monster because when you gotta turn around it's a heck of a walk...

Cooper River Trail

Distance

August, 2024 by bizzstuff01

I don’t believe the 10 plus mile distance is correct when viewing the trail map on the app. It is closer to 7 miles. Also the webpage trail map differs from the app map that may partially explain the difference.

Middle Township Bike Path

nice surprise.

August, 2024 by fc9vjs5dw4

I was happy to ride this path because it was asphalt. Just wow! The path is so well maintained. The brush is kept trimmed and about 3 ft back from the wide paved path. The mile markers are painted every 10th on the ground. This was such a pleasant ride!!!!

Union Transportation Trail

July 20, 2024

July, 2024 by fc9vjs5dw4

Entered on Millstream. The first 4 miles were very pleasant, wide gravel which was firmly packed. Then it got a rather loose like pine barren sand. I have a hybrid so I was able to maneuver okay but my ride became a bit more stressful. Then after going through the tunnel under 195, the trail became less maintained and more narrow. It was a fun ride, especially since it was pretty straight. Several small bridges, farms and wooded. Very friendly people! It was an enjoyable trail but I doubt I will repeat.

Barnegat Branch Trail

Bypass this section

July, 2024 by kulickk

I recommend taking Barnegat lake drive between Musket and South to avoid the section of the trail that is barely passable. The rest of the trail is really nice.
