Cross Island Trail

Cross Island extended

November, 2024 by smerchant1120

I frequently ride the Cross Island Trail. You can extend your ride starting at the Royal Farms. Continue on Sadler Rd when it ends make a left on Chester River Beach Rd then right on VFW Ave. At the Quality Inn make a left onto Winchester Creek Rd. Then right onto Hissey Rd and then left back onto Winchester Creek Road. Stop at Nesbit Rd. The roads are not busy and will add 4 more miles to your round trip.

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.

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!

Gordons Pond Trail

Beautiful & just enough

October, 2024 by adab

This is a well maintained trail, flat, varied scenery with a great long boardwalk/ bridge. Nice stops in a few sites with some history. Beach view / marsh / birds. Well traveled with bikers & walkers on a Sunday fall afternoon. 6.4 miles round trip with a strong wind on the way back had me sweating.

Cross Island Trail

Walking out from the Kent Island Hyatt Hotel not very nice

October, 2024 by rebeccabeynon

We were on Kent Island for a wedding, and we took a stroll from the Hyatt Hotel in the direction away from the Bay Bridge. The trail runs alongside the busy road for a mile or so, then there’s a short stretch in a pleasant piney woods, and then back to the busy road. The trail is well maintained and the surface is good, and the part in the woods was pretty nice. But for most of our 3.5 mile walk (total, there and back) it was like walking beside a busy road. If I did this again, I’d try to access the trail at a place where you would have a nicer experience.

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.

Ben Cardin C&D Canal Recreational Trail

Perfect first trail ride for our new bikes. We went a little further on the trail to do 2.9 miles both ways. The single hill is a nice touch for the exercise. View of the water was a nice touch as well for scenery.

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...

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!!!!

Kent Island South Trail

Great Trail

July, 2024 by tpslucks

Liked the trail very much. However, I’ve seen other maps that show this trail actually begins on the north side of Rt-50 on the westbound side and connects to the trailhead. Is that portion part of this trail? It would make for a much longer route.
