Bike paths in New Jersey

Fred said:

I was hoping someone could recommend a couple of good bike paths in New Jersey or eastern
PA. I live in New Jersey and the next couple of weekends I'd like to find some areas to ride with
kids 10 and 13. Would like to hit the area above Trenton one weekend, the shore area another and
the Poconos. If anyone knows of any 10 to 20 mile paths/loops it would be great. I live just under
Trenton and east of Philadelphia.

Head up towards Washington Crossing Park, Lambertville, Stockton, or
Bulls Island, and head north on the trail along the river. Depending on
where you start and how far the kids can manage, you can stop for a
break in Lambertville, Stockton, or Frenchtown. Unfortunately, the PA
towpath, which runs from Morrisville up to Easton, was decimated by
floods in April 2005, so it's only passable in spots.

Cnetral Bucks Bike Club has an event. the Covered Bridges Ride, on
October 15 (do I have the date right?), where you can take the kids up
to Tinicum Park, then do either a 20 or 30 mile flat ride on the NJ
trail along the Delaware. Between the various ride options
offered--20, 30. 50, or 63 miles--we get ~2,800 riders, so come join
the fun.

There are the Schuylkill and Lower Perkiomen trails, from Phialdelphia
up into Montgomery County. You can start at Betzwood Park, opposite
Valley Forge National Park, and go north on the Lower Perkiomen, a nice
ride.

Although I don't have access to them at the moment, you can get
information about these trails and the CBBC rideon line. Regards, Roy
