Important Notes on the Trail

• Terrain: Be prepared for potentially muddy conditions as most of the route is on wooded trails. Waterproof footwear is recommended.
• Narrow Section: For about 0.3 miles, we will be walking on a narrow levee/embankment right next to a road (refer to photos 1 & 2 in the album). Please be mindful and walk single-file here.

This hike offers a wonderful blend of nature and local charm! We'll begin by following the Rahway River, and then our path will take us through the stunning Nomahegan Park and Lenape Park, offering peaceful woodland scenery. We'll continue through Echo Lake Park before cutting across the vibrant downtown area and passing by the historic Miller-Cory House Museum Park. It's a journey through parks, greenways, and historic sites!
