Confirmed from Scudder Falls Shared Use Path (NJ)'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.
Bike-friendly, riverside spot including a bridge and waterfalls.
What runners say about Scudder Falls Shared Use Path (NJ)
A favorite haunt of mine. Perfect way to take in the beauty. Fun to pass between states from NJ to PA. Plenty of parking on the NJ side. Walk 2 miles, bike fifty, or take a jaunt to Washington Crossing after you cross the bridge.
A very nice walkway one can go for long walk. Many people visit this easy trail
Thrilled this is finally open. No need to dismount a bike, provides an excellent connection from the NJ canal path to the PA canal path. Much easier than using the Washington Crossing bridge.
You can jog, walk, bike right across the Delaware on a separate path on the new bridge.
