The trail is ~ 20 miles in each direction. A good mix of paved, gravel, dirt — with minor sections that are “single track”’ish.
A peasant 15 mile RT ride. Nothing remarkable about the trail, but nothing to complain about either. Glad we tried it!
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.
One of my favorite trails in the area. Lots of parking at the High Bridge trail head
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!
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.
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.
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.
I have wanted to come to Sandy Hook for several years, and I am thrilled that I finally did. It’s a lovely ride that includes shore front and leafy glades. Definitely my new favorite ride!
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 !!
