Brooksideのおすすめツーリングルート

Wonderful paved riding area. Note that bikes must stay on paved routes. It's not well marked. Very crowded on the weekends with night weather.

Only a few parking spots, but a beautiful area in all directions.

Often times there are seemingly homeless people camping in the woods. Just keep rolling past and they won't bother you.

Osborne Pond, also known as Osborn Mill Pond, is a 20-acre lake home to fish species like black crappie and largemouth bass. The Lees Hill Road bridge that goes over Osborn Pond provides a nice view of this waterway, dotted with greenery on the waters surface. Stop on the sidewalk here for a photo opportunity.

The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Morris County, New Jersey, is a vital habitat for over 244 bird species and other animals. Established in 1960, it became the first wilderness area within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1968. Spanning nearly 7,800 acres, it provides a mix of habitats within the Northeastern coastal forests ecoregion, serving as a crucial stopover for migratory birds along the eastern U.S. The refuge also supports diverse wildlife, including deer, foxes, turtles, and occasional sightings of bears and beavers. The Great Swamp also plays a critical role in flood control and water purification, acting as a natural filter that traps sediments and contaminants while draining the surrounding region and gradually releasing floodwaters during extreme weather.

Lots of pedestrians, often with dogs. A gentle bell ding will move them over.

It's a great place to lock up your bike and take a walk in a beautiful area

Visit in December when fully decorated with lights and Christmas trees
