Today we walked 3.5 miles from Demott Lane to South Bound Brook. Part of this trail was familiar to us because South Bound Brook is just a few miles from our house so we often park there to walk the trail. This stretch is not as peaceful because it’s fairly close to Easton Avenue which is a busy road and runs under Route 287
We saw similar wildlife today and a few more pedestrians and bikers than we saw yesterday. It was 60 degrees and a beautiful day so many were taking advantage of the nice day. The trail is likely getting more use than a normal Thursday PM
We figured out that the trail has been changed over the years we assume because of Route 18 construction so the mile markers don’t really make sense. We saw 2 sets of locks and a swing bridge that enabled barges to be towed down the canal.
We hope you’ll continue to follow our journey. We’ve only done about 6 miles of the 38 so much more to come. Stay safe…..until next time.
