New Jersey Regional Trails Program

About the Program

The New Jersey Regional Trails Program enables the Trail Conference to tackle trail maintenance, construction, conservation and advocacy to help the Garden State live up to its name. From the Delaware Water Gap on its western border to the cliffs of the Palisades in the east, New Jersey has plenty to offer for trail users of all types.

The Trail Conference maintains 682 miles of trails throughout New Jersey!
