Seems like part (most?) of the trail is closed as of July 2020 by order of the mayor of the Borough of High Bridge due to "unsafe conditions." Supposedly, the order is only temporary, but the trails are still closed despite the order having nominally expired. Not sure when/if the trails will actually reopen.
A short stretch of the trail from the Columbia Trail to the Union Forge Bridge is still open. The part that's open is interesting, so I hope the rest reopens within a reasonable timeframe.
Great trail with greens and manageable hills. But some dangerous crossings and noise highways. Recommend ear buds. I wouldn’t take my kids for whole trail. Just south is fine. Will definitely go during foliage season.
There is nothing interesting to explore here IMO. Btw there is no shade so it’s extremely hot in summers.
This is a nice ride as it takes you thru some wooded areas then you drive along Richmond Ave for a good part. You can continue along a very narrow path on Arthur Kill Rd to get into Bloomfield park and continue your ride in there as well.
My review is more conservative. This bike trail is mostly in the woods where you don’t get sunburn. There is also a an asphalt /gravel path for your choice. It’s worth a normal weekend visit but not a special tour to it
Awesome, peaceful, beautiful surroundings. Loved the break of trails they town on road then back in the woods. Tree farms.
Took the family and it was very clean and an excellent time. Windy and lots of hills and downhill runs. Recommended
Fairly new to the trail scene and this was the perfect place to start! Wide trail, friendly people and beautiful environment! Did five miles today.
done this trail couple times. i loved the fact their was a place to grab a bite to eat along the ride. overall for nature lovers this is a gem of a trail. Highly recommended for biking/running
Enjoyed this ride with our 10 yr. old daughter and she was thrilled to bike on this trail.. competed the entire trail of 7.6 miles.
easy, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, shaded Great for walking and biking
