Confirmed from Perrineville Lake Park'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.
This large natural area features multi-use trails, wildlife viewing & a fishing pond.

“Its fairly quiet if you head to Roosevelt with the hiking/MTB trail.”
What a beautiful Park for a nice hike just walking in the beautiful fresh air through the woods the sights are remarkable and I'm guessing you can tell I love the parks I will give every Park in this state or any state a good review and just remember people keep it clean it's not that hard to pick up your darn garbage…
One of Monmouth county newer parks, this park integrates with a trail that runs through to Roosevelt tracking along through the unfinished part of Witches Hollow. Its fairly quiet if you head to Roosevelt with the hiking/MTB trail. The busiest spot of the linked park network is likely the parking lot on Agress Rd.
Biggest park in Millstone with lots of trails. They’ve even got a lake for fishing! I’d overall recommend checking one of the entrances for this park out.
My backyard. Well maintained trails and great views of the lake. If you have the stamina, explore the north side of Agress and visit the hidden pond
