Power Line Trail (PA)

Adding a note to my last review…

September, 2026 by justdoit2again

The trail runs about 5 miles so you can get 10mi roundtrip easily. There are a decent amount of hills and descents. I was impressed with the maintenance of the entire trail.

Power Line Trail (PA)

Good bike trail.

September, 2026 by justdoit2again

I parked at the Luken’s Park & Powerline Trail trailhead lot which is the park’s smaller lot on Dresher Rd. The lot was gravel. Trail was paved although not completely smooth but not loose gravel either. There was a pump station entering the trail from the lot. There were frequent benches along the path. The trail had a good amount of walkers, joggers, and bikers (mid week) but no problems with having enough room. It runs along mostly private properties/nice homes and some fields. It was scenic. There were multiple quiet intersections that were well maintained, marked, and most with blinking lights to cross. Pretty much every car stopped for me to cross. I had zero issues at all of the intersections.

Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail

Daunting and Beautiful

September, 2026 by beny.margolese

When I first walked this trail I had no clue of it’s true size, starting from a bridge opening over the canal near New Brunswick I was simply on a walk and wanted to wander, to my surprise the trail simply kept going and going though, I was walking for miles seeing plenty of wondrous nature, enjoying the sound of the water flowing by me, ducks and turtles and all manner of fauna around me. I felt like I had walked into another world sitting just at the edge of the highly populated busy cities, but they remained on the other side of the river, while I was out in nature. Quickly I knew I was up against a titan of a trail compared to the 10 mile long paths I had gotten good at overcoming, but only after I had moved off the path and gone home did I truly realize how little I had seen. I felt a sense of giddy wonder and accomplishment, as well as curiosity. I had seen so much that day, but in truth, I was only scratching the surface. If you live near an entrance to this trail I implore you to give it a try, it’s not ideal for biking, but to see how far you can walk? It may be the best option in the state.

Loantaka Brook Reservation Trail

Mostly paved and tree covered. Will try bikes next. Is there a way to track miles covered?

Gloucester Township Health and Fitness Trail

I think the trail is a very good trail. I bike it almost every day. I have not seen or know of anything bad about it. Im also looking forward to the extension of the trail, from 3.3 to 6 miles. I'm very happy with the trail.

Loantaka Brook Reservation Trail

Okay for walking and light biking

September, 2026 by pt5kty9cby

Reviewing for biking. No as long as it says…and you need to cross the streets a few times. Also lacking good signage.

Historic Smithville Park Trails

This is just a walking trail. Tried to bike here and was scolded by several people.

Union Transportation Trail

Started the ride at the Sharon Station parking lot. Headed south towards Cream Ridge. Loose gravel and sandy areas may challenge some riders. Road tires might be an issue. Shaded, mostly flat trail. May see some deer.

Barnegat Branch Trail

Relaxing easy trail.

August, 2026 by 59jfcf86tt

Was our first trail on our new e-bikes. We did the entire route from Barnegat to Tom’s River and back. We stopped at Caffreys Backyard Tavern which was trail side in Forked River. Really cool outdoor place for cocktails and lunch. Was a total of 31 miles. Great day.

Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail

Best trail!

July, 2026 by alimardory

I have cycled the D&R numerous times from Frenchtown to Washington Crossing and from Lawrence Township to New Brunswick. I have not ridden through Trenton because I have been told it isn't very safe for a lone rider who doesn't know exactly where the trail begins and ends. The trail along the Delaware is beautiful and very well kept. The trail is wide with crushed stone and easy to navigate on any kind of bike. The trail along the Raritan is nice until you get closer to New Brunswick. The trail is rockier with many potholes and not as well kept, plus there are a few spots where you need to dismount your bike and walk. I highly recommend the D&R for biking, hiking and running.

D&L Trail

Not kept up very well

July, 2026 by alimardory

I have cycled the D&L from Washington Crossing to Uhlerstown a few times. The scenery is beautiful, but the trail itself is not well taken care of. Some parts are completely grown over or only allow one hiker/cyclist to pass at a time. There are also miles of large gravel that I think would be very difficult for road bikes, non-hybrid bikes of hikers with balance issues. It is also very crowded on the weekends.
