Canal Trail (Short Loop) is a 2.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Bridgewater Township, New Jersey that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and running and is best used from March until November.
Four star facility with a three star paved walking path surrounding it. Come here for the park activities, not the hiking.
Went on Dec 21. It was clear and brisk, no snow. It’s generally really quiet in the winter but still great for walking- mainly when there’s no snow on the ground because some parts have quite a few exposed roots that would be easy to trip over if you can’t see them. Overall, an easy walk, kid-friendly.
Park setting with perfectly paved walkway. Great for runners and bikers also.
