Trails with Mile Markers in New Jersey

New Jersey has 78 trails with mile markers in this directory, across 63 cities and towns — Cherry Hill Township, Hackettstown, Princeton, Rockaway and 59 more. Marked miles for pacing and measured intervals, for when GPS drifts under trees.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
