About 4 major hiking trails. Apparently there's a crabbing bridge where people crabs during tides but I haven't tried that. I've also always wondered how it's like to boat in the creeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>holmdel Park - Very nice public scenic area where we saw lots of Jews last time. There's a small farm for tourist and a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/viewer?mid=1HT60OrXJ9QH0JEmJmdTCE_hVSIc&amp;ll=40.37682180941624%2C-74.18737979224915&amp;z=15\" target=\"_blank\">hiking <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.njhiking.com\/holmdel-park-north-section\/\" target=\"_blank\">trail<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hedden Park - A bit far from us (50 mins). But we went once and loved it. It's a small but very scenic lake park and a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/parks\/us\/new-jersey\/hedden-park\" target=\"_blank\">simple hiking trail<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John F.

Probably good for jogging as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.njhiking.com\/nj-hikes-washington-valley\/\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Valley Park<\/a> - Closest Watchung Mountain. Hiking, some sort of waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dandrcanal.com\/index.php\/trails\" target=\"_blank\">Delaware &amp; Raritan Canal Trail<\/a> - The river\/canal scenic view is superb!
