Tips from locals
Fish or explore the 19 miles of trails that range from easy to challenging. Abandoned military batteries, including some from WWII, are visible. Great water views. *Best hiking trail in New Jersey, New Jersey Monthly Magazine Readers Poll.
All levels of hiking trails from easy to black diamond. I love this place. It is enchanting the moment you get there. The views, the trails...it is a very special place on earth.
Recently upgraded to showcase the old battery placements and updated bathroom facilities and other amenities like bike repair and water stations - the trails are quite extensive. There is a relatively easy paved path that curves around to a beautiful view over the Shrewsbury River to the ocean. If you go on a summer evening there is a canopy of trees that is home to all the fireflies! It's not uncommon to see a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Dirt trails offer a more rugged terrain for walking, running or biking. The other entrance in Atlantic Highlands (buttermilk valley) has a trail that is not quite 5k with lots of hills if you're looking for a good workout.
