If your family enjoys scenic pedaling along canal trails, you’ll want to visit one of central New Jersey’s most popular recreational corridors. The tow path—where mules once pulled barges along this water route from Philadelphia to New York City—today provides a level, crushed-stone surface for biking, hiking, jogging, and horseback riding. Part of the National Recreational Trail System, the 70-mile linear park connects fields, cobblestone spillways, forests, 19th century bridges, and quaint historic towns.
