    Easily my favorite trail in the New Jersey area! Breathtaking views on both sides with canals and…read morerivers. Spectacular choice for fall foliage viewing! This is my hands-down winner for the best trail in New Jersey, I've hiked it, and I have biked it! I love all of the other trails in New Jersey, but this one rises to the top for a few reasons. Often there is water on both sides of the trail. There's a man-made canal on one side and sometimes either a river or a lake on the other side. Plus, it's lush with trees and vegetation. Also, the trail is really great if you wanna go biking. You can't go wrong wherever you decide to explore. I would recommend biking since it's such a beautiful trail and you'd want to see as much as you can. Also, the trail is very flat and easy to ride. It's not paved, but it is a wonderful easy riding surface without dust. I recommend parking either at Kingston, which is my favorite. Or at Rocky Hill. You could also park in Princeton along Washington Street near the kayak rental place. If you park at the Kingston trailhead, if you turn one way and head towards Rocky Hill you will see the most breathtaking views I feel the trail has to offer with majestic Streams and canals with cliffs and trees, and all directions. If you take this trail in the fall, you will be blown away by nature! If you ride in the other direction from Kingston towards the Princeton trailhead, you will pass a long and beautiful lake on your right hand side with beautiful views and trees on your left! If you love trails, this one put to the top of your list if you live in New Jersey or nearby Princeton! Super highly recommended! Going in October during the fall can be a transcending experience!

    There are over 70 miles of paths/trails along the D&R canal, passing through many historic towns…read moreand landmarks in NJ with some pretty houses along the way, from near Frenchtown down to Trenton, then up to New Brunswick, in a V shape. The D&R runs parallel to the Delaware & Lehigh (D&L) trail on the Pennsylvania side, so you're also getting a view of the Delaware River on that part of the track. The trail is mostly flat and is suitable for walking or biking. We love riding this trail and exploring sections of it at a time and the surrounding towns. Some sections are more scenic than others. A favorite easy ride (or hike) of ours is to start in Lambertville NJ, ride up to Stockton, cross over Center Bridge to the PA side, grab a burger at Dilly's, then ride down to New Hope, PA, walk around town, and return to Lambertville via the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge. It's only about 8 miles roundtrip and makes for a leisurely day, and is very doable even for kids.

    Just days after General Washington's surprise attack on Trenton, American troops surprised and…read moredefeated a force of British Regulars. It was the morning of January 3, 1777. At first the Americans were forced back, but the General rode right up to the front lines and lead his men to victory. We found that the park was easily accessed with plenty of parking. There had been a giant oak tree dating back to the time of the battle, but it died in 2000. A replacement now stands, having been grown from an acorn of the original. We went on a beautiful sunlit day, and you could easily picture the battle taking place. I found it particularly chilling to walk on ground that George Washington trod in victory 250 years ago - then look up to see a bald eagle soaring 50 feet above my head.

    On this Independence Day weekend I am reminded of far more than mattress sales and Toyotathons and…read moream sobered by the living history in my own backyard at Princeton Battlefield State Park. On this square mile patch of earth General George Washington fought (and won) one of the fiercest battles of the Revolutionary War by turning back a force of well trained Hessians and British Redcoats on that frigid January day in 1777. It was Washington's first victory on land and galvanized his troops who had almost lost faith in the cause. The fighting was hand to hand in many cases and as gruesome as you can imagine. This ground is picturesque and very much hallowed... a fact that I sometimes forget on my way back through this field from the supermarket. What else but eternal gratitude for their gallantry and sacrifice.
