Mostly on quiet streets. In the few cases where the trail involves a busy street
such as Rte 206 or Princeton Pike (Mercer St.) use the sidewalk.
1. Bob MacPherson's
safe route
from IAS to the middle school with pedestrian lights at each intersection.
Don't let your kids ride their bike through downtown Princeton:
the streets are dangerous and you can't ride on the sidewalk.
Use our secret route.
1. Two Beer Loop. This loop crosses Rte 1 near Princeton Forrestal campus: Two Beer Loop
First beer at "Tre Piani", a bar/restaurant that closed down about a year before the pandemic hit.2. Delaware and Raritan Canal is a tremendous resource.
Go Northeast from Princeton as far as New Brunswick.3. Another great path in Princeton is the Lawrence-Hopewell Trail (LHT) http://lhtrail.org/
It is
about 20 miles if you do the whole thing, plus however long it takes
you to get to the trail and to return.
A convenient access point leaves from the canal in Princeton (see the map on their home page).
1. The coppermine loop: A great hill climb if you like hills. Kingston to Coppermine
2. Rosedale Park to the Watershed
Rosedale Park to Watershed
Follows the LHT. Return by same route. Don't forget the many trails in Rosedale Park and the Pole Farm.
3. The Pole Farm
Pole Farm
Mercer Meadows and the Pole farm provide a huge area of bike trails.
AT&T had arrays of enormous 120 ft radio towers for international telephone calls, 1928-1970.
There is a great map of these arrays etched on the ground tiles at the station.
4. Aunt Molly Road and St. Michael's (to be completed)
