April 13, 2021Easy trail, well maintained. Great for the whole family, dogs, trail runners, and bikers.
April 7, 2021Nice trail. Not muddy at all.
April 3, 2021Nice walk for a cup of coffee
March 23, 2021In and out. Pretty flat gravel trail that goes the suburban community of Cedar Grove. Very pretty, well kept yards along the way. There's a few offshoot trails to explore which we'll do next time. It might be fun to follow the trail to Mills Reservation for more of a challenge. This was great for a nice walk. It was nearly six miles and a tad less than two hours. Bike, kid, family and dog friendly.
March 21, 2021March 21, 2021March 20, 2021Definitely kid friendly.... it runs along Cedar Grove community park. If the kids wanna stop and play on the playground for a little bit, it’s right there. Paths were clear and wide. It was quite busy on a nice day with runners, bikers and people enjoying a nice day. The kids liked to explore streams and waterfalls.
March 13, 2021Nice bike ride to get some riding in. No snow so it was a good choice
January 24, 2021Moderately challenging mountain bike trail ride on the West Essex Trail and some local offshoots.
January 10, 2021January 2, 2021Muy bueno buennissimo
November 29, 2020November 22, 2020November 22, 2020It is a few miles from our house, so it is convenient. Great for quick hike with the kids and dog, or bike ride with the kids (almost all of it is dirt or gravel). We start near Verona High School. The path includes a bridge over route 23 and another bridge over a small river.
November 14, 2020November 10, 2020Good for mild to slightly adventurous bike ride
October 24, 2020Easy and not moderate.. mostly flat with 1 or 2 inclines. Need to go off the path to get to the streams
October 18, 2020Lots of houses and people around
October 18, 2020LOST KEYS! Dropped keys along way today (10/18) and while we’ll be fine the keychain does have sentimental value. If found, would appreciate a post. Can describe unique features. Thank you!
October 5, 2020Not sure why this is rated “moderate.” I was expecting a real hike and got an easy, flat walk surrounded by people’s backyards. Good for children and elderly but not for anyone looking for any type of challenge.
October 4, 2020Easy but long hike.
September 27, 2020September 27, 2020Not paved. Some areas rough terrain. Good trail overall. 6 miles total back and forth.
September 26, 2020September 20, 2020September 19, 2020It was a lot of fun. The trail was mostly gravel but had lots of cut offs from the main trail. The cutoffs were rlly tough but a lot of fun. I definitely recommend this trail for a begging or intermediate mountain biker!
September 19, 2020It was good with the exception of a steep hill accompanied by lots of loose rocks.
September 19, 2020Awesome trails, shout out to Ramy, Sammy, and Naseem.
