Beautiful Trail Great walk. Smooth road Good for walking or biking or brining your dog .

Awesome spot to walk, bike, or blade. Trail is flat until you reach the bridge crossing the highway. Veey steep but a great workout! Multiple spots to enter the trail along the way but I entered at the dirt parking lot with the porta potties.

This is a really great stretch of genuine nature in an urban neighborhood, its a place I value so much for walking biking and taking out my dog who absolutely loved going their and had so many great memories, its so beautiful all year round and genuinely incredible to see changing throughout the seasons. Not to mention, the abundance of plant, fungi an wildlife within the first half, white tailed deer crossing, musk turtles and big bull frogs, a mallard couple who are always around somewhere if you can spot them all within the creeks, grey squirrels an chipmunk’s running around and a huge variety of insects and arachnids flying around and hidden in plain site if you get a chance to stop an look. Plus theirs so many different colonies of shelf fungi lining fallen trees its like no where else this easily accessible to see such diversity with what I know are turkey tails, false turkey tails, sternum facturnm and a few species of polypores, with botany wise these big beautiful patches of duck weed in the creeks either side, I still can’t get over seeing them every time I go. Its honestly a great place to spend time alone, with family or friends and even meet new people. Ive had so many great conversations with strangers out their that as someone who has anxiety’s issues its honestly on of the best local places to push yourself and meet new people. I love biking the greenway so so much but do be mindful it is a limited pathway and it can be busy in the morning to mid day so please be respectful of those walking and dogs. As a walker and a biker Ive had few instances of people coming up behind me with out signaling and I personally think thats pretty rude as it can be startling so be mindful and just make a kind call out to those ahead of you. If your training for a cycling event I would recommend trying to do it in the later hours, 4-7pm in the spring an summer when the pathways less populated because it will be much easier for you and Ive done rides for just endurance and speed within those hours and its much much easier and safer.

Great place for Metuchen, Edison residents for an evening walk. The walkpath is 3 miles long one side. I heard this was an old railroad that was transformed to a walkpath. The walkpath is covered with trees in most places and is nice and shady for an evening walk. I have seen variety of birds, deer, fox, rabbit, groundhog and ducks in this trail. The bridge across US1 highway is a fun place for kids. Couple of things I feel needs to improve in the greenway. 1. There needs to be a kids park somewhere in the middle 2. There needs to be some restriction on speeding bikers. Some of them are riding superfast, and if a kid starts running, they get annoyed. I think they feel it is their racetrack

This is a great trail for walking or biking. It is about 8 miles round trip from end to end.

Excellent place to go for a walk or run. Yes, you have to cross 2 intersections but you can get in a 6 to 8 mile run. Plus, you get to see all of the interesting art along the way.

The scenery was nice and relaxing. A few benches here and there, and not much trash. A variety of different trails to take and sometimes they are split between crosswalks on roads. I will recommend you to go in the morning when there aren't a lot of people.

Beautiful paved and clean running and walking trails appx 2 miles. You can stand under the bridge if it rains.
