Ocean Parkway Trail

Path has been resurfaced since the earlier reviews

July, 2025 by fjohnboyle

Path is very well maintained, except for the connector to Prospect Park is a bit worn (you can use the adjacent street). A great stress free route to Coney Island.

Capoolong Creek Wildlife Management Area

Tough Condition

July, 2025 by z4g9gshqpr

Saw the last review on this stating trail was dangerous and in need of maintenance. Was hoping some improvement wouldve been made but the Coopalong is still in tough shape. A lot of trees down with large stretches of the trail covered with overgrown weeds. Id especially avoid the southern half closer to Pittstown.

Barnegat Branch Trail

an OK trail

July, 2025 by johnclowes

I rode this trail starting in toms River with my ultimate destination being southern Long Beach Island. This is really more two trails as the first section ends and you need to ride south on route nine for a stretch and pick up the trailhead again. There are many many intersections The total stretch of trail including the route nine portion is about 15 miles and deposits you in Stratford, New Jersey. Easy ride to Long Beach Island although getting on the boulevard is not really bicycle friendly.

Sandy Hook Multi-Use Pathway

My Fave!!!

June, 2025 by annempiazza

Delaware River Heritage Rte. 130 Bypass Trail

Nice ride from Crystal lake park to the Delaware River. The on-road segment has a sidewalk which we used for safety, although not a lot of traffic. Restrooms at Crystal lake park. . Water was very rusty !!

Overgrown and hard to follow We gave up even with mountain bikes when starting from Palmer Park. We are going to try another trail nearby

Quarry Trail

adorable surprise off the aqueduct

May, 2025 by vbergerg_tl

Really doesn’t qualify as a trail, just a pocket park, it’s way too small but it is a very pretty surprise off the Okd Croton Aquaduct Trail
