Fantastic walk with different little growing bioms.
Watch out for ticks!
Long sleeves must.
Tons of friendly deer.
Such a great hike. Recommend if you are a strong walker. Not for weak ankles. You definatley want to watch where and how you step become some of the placements of rocks will trip you up if your not paying attention. Amazing views and picture opportunities on this walk. I'm mainly talking about the Stuart-Witherspoon trail which is the yellow 1.1 mile walk for these shots. Really enjoyed this walk with my 3 year old Goldendoodle who had no problem walking, jumping, and hoping these boulders. This was our 3rd hike visiting these woods and took about 2 hours to go completely around the trails taking a few stops and 2 turnarounds after hitting a dead end. So far this is a favorite of Marley and myself.
Super close to Princeton campus, beautiful scenary by the lake... especially in the fall. Easy-medium hikes and lots of choices/combinations of trails
Nice 12-14 mile rails to trails ride good for adults and kids. Not too many challenging hills.
This is a peaceful place to come and either tale a nice stroll as far as you like or a vigorous walk to break a good sweat and get your cardio done. It connects with the local sidewalk with plenty of hilly areas for interval training. Highly recommend. Enjoy.
