Favorite places to walk
Hey guys-
I'd love to hear your favorite walking places! Include directions and comments if you can.
My two favorite places to walk are:
A) the boardwalk in Belmar. From Arches (South end) to Bridge (North end) it's 2.9 miles round trip. (You don't have to do the whole span if you don't want to.) You will get a lot of sun, and right now, a lot of wind, so bring a wind-breaker.
GSP to Ex 98, Rte 138 E to end, 35N to 1st light, R onto 16th to Ocean.

B) Holmdel Park - I prefer the trail that starts near the main playground, goes up past and around the tennis courts, and comes back down. If you do the whole thing, including "the bowl" (You'll know it when you're in it) I think it's 3 miles. I think it's 2 without the bowl. It's beautiful to walk through the trees and the people are friendly. The trail is mostly unpaved, so if it's been raining, use your old pair of sneakers.

I'd *LOVE* to hear your places. These are in Monmouth Cty but I *KNOW* there must be good ones in Somerset, Ocean, Middlesex, Atlantic.. all over the place. Please share your secret spots with someone looking for good walking.
