👍👍 A great National Wildlife Refuge! The trails offer something for everyone. There are boardwalk trails that elevate you above this swamp, bird blinds, a wonderful visitor center and clean restrooms.

South Mountain - Fairy Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 Great intro hiking trail for toddlers. We took our two daughters there and they really enjoyed finding all the little fairy houses. Coming in at less than a mile walking round trip, I was able to get in approx 2000 steps. My friend Brian, a 43 year old male, offered to dress up as a fairy and swing...

👍👍 This is a green park with walking/biking trails close by, and an active community of park users, some with dogs. There are multiple fields for recreation, including baseball, and a track too. If head into the trails, keep an eye out for the teddy bears in the trees! I counted two (are there more?)....

6 Mile Run

👍 Went to Six Mile on 10/16/2021 to get in some good MTB. Very good XC/Blue MTB trails throughout. Met a handful of hikers on the ride, not too many. Many cool riders. Be aware of oncoming traffic. Still some bridge paths that are out due to last months storms. So you may have some jumps or detours to...

John Witherspoon Woods
Hiking area
👍 I'd definitely recommend this trail to everyone. One of the easiest trails I ever did. Good serene views with lakes in between where you can fish. It is also one of the safest trails as it has wooden railing in places where it could be slippery.

Sensory Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 We were looking for a short trail to get our girls out of the house and this was perfect. You can easily complete this trail in just a few minutes, the second perk was there weren't very many people around so we could explore easily. I would suggest bringing some hand sanitizer and a picnic lunch to...

Freneau Woods Park
Park
😐 This is still a relatively new park in the Monmouth County system. It's already a nice place for a walk in the woods, but it needs some fixing up. They will either have to preserve or demolish some of the buildings around the main parking lot that do not look so great at this time. My hope is that t...
