Junction & Breakwater Trail

Nice, but not completely paved as of Aug. 2025

August, 2025 by susancnett

The description of the trail says it is completely paved, but we started at the parking lot off of Wolfe Neck Road, and it is hard-pack, not paved. This was OK for us, but if we were on inline skates, we would not have been able to ride that section.

We rode northwest, towards Golden Eagle Blvd. After about a mile, it was paved. Traveling southeast, the surface was also hard-packed. We didn't go the whole way in that direction, so I don't know if it would have become paved at some point.
The trail is beautiful and well-marked. It was a Friday, midday, and the trail was busy. The road crossings were well-marked and had warning lights. The motorists were very respectful, waiting for trail users to cross.

I wish there were a few more signs with trail etiquette reminders. Twice, there were people stopped for a break and standing ON the trail, making passing them a challenge.

Kudos to Delaware for a great trail.

Monroe Township Bike Path

great trail in South Jersey

August, 2025 by medfordsewing

One of our favorite rides. Lots of shade for a hot days ride. We park at the back right side of the High School, there’s easy access to the trail.

Atlantic County Bikeway

Danger zone

August, 2025 by goodmantaco81

The bikeway is used as a pet toilet for developments that run alongside, very few bother to clean up after their pet, disgusting. Bring a club with you to fight off aggressive, untrained dogs too.
The asphalt surface is dangerously uneven from tree roots pushing thru. The debris hasn't been cleaned off in years, so you don't know what under the dead leaves and pine needles.
Watch out for wild motorcycle riders, ebikes, and 4 wheelers roaring by. Crossing streets along the path can be deadly. Most cars fly into the intersection without being aware!
I now ride in the street where its safer!

Georgetown-Lewes Trail

J&B, Georgetown/Lewes and Cape Henlopen trails

July, 2025 by baarters

If you visit Lewes or Rehoboth Beach plan to take your bike and check out these trails. The J&B combined with Cape Henlopen SP is my favorite, be sure to ride it in both directions as well. This year I added the Georgetown section (it's a fair distance out and back from Lewes, ends up somewhere near Rt. 9 and Cool Spring Rd). The very straight, very flat paved Georgetown/Lewes Trail was busy close to Lewes on a warm Saturday in May, I expect summers are even more crowded. There are more road crossings than I like but cars were courteous. The J&B twists through both Lewes and Rehoboth with everything from paved residential areas to gravel paths through wooded and open field sections in between. The signage is adequate but it is easy to get misdirected in Rehoboth. If you make your way through Rehoboth on whatever route you choose, continue to the southern entrance of Cape Henlopen. You can't miss the Gordon Pond Trail which takes you through the park and back to Lewes. Cape Henlopen trails are well marked, there are multiple other trails within the park also. There are many places to stop and rest and bathrooms along all 3 sections.

Pinelands Nature Trail

very sandy

July, 2025 by hv8wkxq46x

I was looking for a trail run, and this was essentially like running on sand. Wasn’t a big fan. The other trails in the park are better.

Middle Township Bike Path

Great Place to Train

July, 2025 by jstephens5

I connected this ride to the Cape May Loop and it was a fantastic way to get in some good miles in the morning hours. I rented a Trek Domane from the Surf & Buggy Center. The bike was great and they delivered it and picked it up. If you are looking to get some good training in during your stay this is the way to do it.

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.

Monroe Township Bike Path

Monroe Township Bike Path

Great trail year round

June, 2025 by 699vf9dfnt

Love this trail. Great all year long. Some areas do have pavement with tree roots popping up so be careful. Also connects to Owen’s Park near the schools in Williamstown
