Cattus Island Butterfly Bogs Trail is a 2.4 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Toms River, New Jersey that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
This is a great short hike on easy terrain. If you're in the area, come out and enjoy this park. You can make the trip as log as you want. You can even enjoy some geocaching.
March 23, 2021trails are good for kids and pets! mostly flat, very well marked, pretty scenery. I thought this hike was going to bore me at first but then I came upon a few hidden gems that really made it a calming experience. gets VERY busy though.
March 23, 2021Bit muddy in spots but nice afternoon hike.
March 21, 2021March 15, 2021March 14, 2021Beautiful day to be out, but very windy. We did the main trail out to the orange trail and then took the purple/white trail to the purple trail and then the main trail back. Ended up being about 3.5 miles. The orange trail went thru the marshes over a number of boardwalks. The purple/white trail was they the woods and much more shaded, along with 2 bird blinds overlooking the marshes. Trails are well marked and well maintained. Lots of families were out, but once on the marked trails, we ran into few folks.

February 11, 2021I just moved to the area and wanted a nice trail to walk my dogs. I only walked the red trail and it was a nice walk. I will return when I have more time and complete the red and yellow trail.
January 22, 2021January 16, 2021Great. Watch Red and Yellow trails during high tide!
January 9, 2021Really nice trail with cool views of the bay especially at the end. Little hidden gem especially since there’s not a lot of trails in this area :(

October 19, 2020Great little spot, some nice views but I’d suggest wearing pants and high socks because during the summer and fall there’s a lot of ticks and flys and the trail isn’t that well maintained.
October 18, 2020October 18, 2020was a little soft in some spots but great time walking with the family and dog through the trails will definitely go back again
October 8, 2020Super nice county park.. Good birdwatching, mountain bike traials and most trails ok for a hybrid bike. Wooded trails and trails bybthe water.
September 29, 2020Very pretty. Nice texture from forest to beach to trail. Red trail is very overgrown. Blue trail is the way to go. Great stroll. Date walk. Dog walk or just a walk.
