Estelle Manor Park - 1/7/12

[njHiking.com]

Trails here are super easy - flat, level, packed sand typical of Jersey's Pine Barrens. This park is more of a 'hey let's go for a walk or have a picnic" kinda park and not a remote hiking destination but it's worth a visit. A big highlight of this park is the long section of boardwalk called the Pine Swamp Trail.

The trails are not really blazed, there are some directional signage at junctions... so it's a bit vague. Make sure you print out a trail map or pick up one at the nature center.

There is also a nature center, playground, picnic areas, bike rentals, fields, etc. The trails are multi-use and the north section is a mountain bike trail. The easy trail surface here may make this a good choice when snow is on the ground.

Miles: 6.5

I did this hike last winter trying to get away from snow everywhere and yes, it was a good choice in the snow and ice.  But I picked the coldest, windiest day and brrrr, it was cold!
