The Capital to Coast Trail is a 55 mile cross-state multi-use trail that is designed to span the state of New Jersey (west to east) from the Delaware River in Trenton to the beach front town of Manasquan on the Atlantic Ocean.

[edit] Trail Segments

The trail roughly runs along the route of Interstate 195 as part of a proposed greenway across the central section of New Jersey. The trail consists of the following public land segments from east to west):

• Edgar Felix Bikeway – Currently the only developed section of the trail.
• Allaire State Park
• Manasquan River Reservoir
• Turkey Swamp Park
• Assunpink State Wildlife Management Area
• Mercer County Park
• D&R Canal Trail

[edit] Current Trail Status

As of February 2007 the Capital to Coast Trail is incomplete, existing mostly on paper; however on June 16 2006 the initial segment was dedicated with a ribbon cutting ceremony at Allaire State Park where the existing 30+ year old Edgar Felix Bikeway became the first segment.
