Explore Trails at the Princeton Institute Woods
Princeton Institute Woods, 225 Olden Lane, Princeton, NJ, USThis one’s going to be a proper adventure! 🌳🥾
Join us as we explore the beautiful trails around the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study — a hidden gem packed with wooded paths, scenic canal views, nature preserve trails, and a very cool bridge that’s one of the highlights of the hike (and a personal favorite of Milan’s Dad!).
We’ll be covering around 4–5 miles with a mix of easy trails, forest paths, and a few “nature-approved obstacles” along the way — including fallen trees to climb over and some slightly overgrown sections that make it feel like a mini expedition.Please wear:
• Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes
• Long sleeves and pants
• A sense of adventure 😄The walk is incredibly scenic with canal views, towering trees, peaceful wooded sections, and lots of fresh air.
📍 We’ll meet at the Institute parking area near the pond. Link is:
