Book Description
Subtitle: The Essential Outdoor Guide to The Garden State's Best Multi-use Recreational Trails Built on Abandoned Railroad Grades. Foreword by New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman. Each of these rail-trails has been converted from an abandoned railroad line as part of the growing nation-wide "Rails-to-Trails" movement, so these routes are historic as well as scenic. The solitude and beauty of rail-trails can be enjoyed by a variety of outdoor users including bicyclists, hikers, equestrians, and the disabled. This book explains all the information you need to explore the adventures of the trails. Included are precise odometer based mileages, specific trailhead directions, accurate maps, organizations, local contacts, B & Bs, and local bike shops, plus fascinating stories of each former railroad's history. You are invited to discover the delightful, educational, and healthy possibilities along the 24 Great Rail-Trails of New Jersey.

Excellent companion February 12, 2002

For anyone interested in either discovering new trails to ride your bike on in new jersey or someone with an interest in rail
roading in the garden state the book is highly recommended. I live in northern n.j. (west paterson) and have taken the book with me on rides through some of the longer northern n.j. trails and have found the directions to the trail the sites to see and the remaining RR structures along the trail described very accurately. (Although the author seems to have missed mentioning the RR mile markers remaining on the essex branch by my house! ) Anyway i am 33 y.o. and i find that these long trails are sometimes a nice break from the more typical mtn. biking type of riding i also like to do in some of new jersey's other state parks. Dont get me wrong though ,these trails can certainly provide a great workout too. I recommend the southern section of the columbia trail through ken lockwood gorge as the nicest area in northern n.j.
Fantastic! Trail detail with the history of the railroads! February 11, 2000

This book is quite unique & even better than the author's previous book on the rail-trails of New England. Three things distinguish this book from others:(1) Insight into the history of the railroads. (2) Useful & reliable descriptions of each trail. (3) Needs of both cyclists & hikers are addressed. A must-have for any rail-trail rider or hiker who wondered about the railroads that once ruled the trail.
