Recreation

New Jersey offers diverse and sometimes surprising opportunities for recreational bicycling. Information can be found through several outlets: bicycle clubs, county maps and lists of trails.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) offers touring tips and provides more than 25 different bicycle tour maps and guides that allow users to select their geographic or historical interest and level of difficulty. NJDOT is releasing three new bicycling tour routes in conjunction with Bike Month. The Jersey City to Hoboken Waterfront Tour is a 14 mile loop that passes through historic and diverse neighborhoods, lively downtowns and spectacular waterfronts. The 17 mile Gloucester County Country Tour connects Pitman, Rowan University, Glassboro Wildlife Management Area and Scotland Run Park. Finally A Gorgeous Ride: The Columbia Trail is a 15 mile multi-use path that parallels the South Branch of the Raritan River in Hunterdon and Morris counties. The trail connects the small towns of High Bridge, Califon and Long Valley and passes through forests, farms and parklands.
