Confirmed from Bicycle Trail Glassboro/Williamstown's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Flat, paved, straight wildlife space for hiking, cycling and running, along with wooded paths, wetlands and swamps.
What runners say about Bicycle Trail Glassboro/Williamstown
“best place for running, but cant give 5 stars for cycling.”
“Pretty well shaded with plenty of trees as you go through a wooded area most of the way.”
“There are a few streets to cross if you go the whole way, but they are well marked and you can just wait until there are no cars.”
“Well paved, peaceful 6 mile trail.”
Great place to run.. round trip from ( rt 47 ) to ( cross keys ) is almost 6 miles but it does continue across cross keys to get your full 6 miles plus more.
best place for running, but cant give 5 stars for cycling. there are so many crossings in a short distance towards the williamstown end that it was disruptive. Path also has a few places (mostly the sloped curbs) that are uneven and adds additional times to brake if on a road bike.
Nice trail that you can pick up in Glassboro just past High Street. Pretty well shaded with plenty of trees as you go through a wooded area most of the way. There are a few streets to cross if you go the whole way, but they are well marked and you can just wait until there are no cars. Not bad
Nice for walking and cycling. There are wetlands right by the trail. This is more suitable for a road bike because it's straight and smooth
