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!!!!

Seaside Nature Trail

Sandy Path Through The Coastal Forest

July, 2024 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com

Part of the Cape Henlopen State Park trail network, the Seaside Nature Trail branches off the Cape Henlopen State Park Bike Loop at the nature center and gives visitors the opportunity to explore the pine barrens, scrublands and a portion of beach on the Delaware Bay on the park's north side. Although the sandy surface of the trail is loose in some sections and poorly suited to cycling, it offers a peaceful and picturesque hiking experience. Highlights include the entrance to a World War II-era bunker, whose overgrown and decaying gate resembles a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie, the panoramic views along the Delaware Bay and the crab statues in front of the nature center. Trail users should also check out the nature center itself to learn more about the wildlife they may encounter and the state park's fishing pier and bait & tackle shop are just a short walk down the beach at Delaware Bay.

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.

Elephant Swamp Trail

love this trail!!

June, 2024 by y576j8h5f8

I grew up on this trail and I highly recommend it!

Woodbine Railroad Trail

Good trail to bike! Pretty flat paved trail. Not much foot or bike traffic. We biked on Memorial Day Weekend and we passed only three bikers.

West Deptford Scenic Trail

great beginner trail

April, 2024 by mattf5164

Trail was really nice and there was a lot of shade. It was pretty cool to see different types of trees with descriptions. However the end of the trail was flooded and had to walk back.

Dennis Township Bike Path

24 miles from start to Cape May Point Lighthouse State Park

October, 2023 by tjfogelberg

I biked 2 miles South (Corson Tavern Road) from the Thousand Trails Lake and Shore campground (Oceanview) to the northern most trailhead and continued on to the Cape May Point Lighthouse State Park. What a great 24 mile ride! Very little interaction with cars. 100% paved (recent). This trail interacts with Middle Township and Cold Spring trail. Worth looking for...it was a bit tricky to find the trail heads. There was limited parking at a few of the trailheads. No restrooms on trail but I did see a few convenience stores along the way and also a city park (Railroad Avenue Park) closer to Cape May that had a bike station, drinking fountain and portable toilet.

Dennis Township Bike Path

Nice narrow bike path

September, 2023 by joenad55

This was just completed in the last couple of years. A bit narrower than what I like to jog on, but this part goes all the way to the county line. The trees are set far back, which means this is in the sun most of the day. Would recommend going out early or late in the day. Have to cross a couple of roads with light traffic, and then Rt 83. Connects to the trail in Middle Township at the county line.
