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

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!

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 !!

Joseph M. McDade Recreational Trail

has potential to one of the best trails in mid Atlantic

May, 2025 by edmunter

Parts of this trail are incredible. You feel like an early pioneer venturing out beyond the frontier. You are stunned by the natural beauty of the Delaware river. You imagine the grinding of receding glaciers that carved this beauty. You hear the echos of an earlier time. The forest is dense, lush and alive. Groundhogs greet you. Birdsong awaits you. Locals are friendly However parts are hellish if you’re attempting to bike it. Even hiking the bike is dicey and dangerous. Our ortlieb saddle bags fell into the Delaware river at one point. We managed to fish them out by some kind of aquatic miracle It’s also full of Lyme disease carrying ticks so watch out The trail need a make over Any billionaires out there who have a spare penny to repair it, please help!
