Top 25 Hiking Trails in South Jersey – 10 Year Anniversary List!

Happy 10th Birthday to us – today South Jersey Trails turns 10 years old!  In celebration of 10 long years, we are doing a series of birthday posts.  Look, here’s one right now!

Five years ago, we had hiked just over 160 trails in South Jersey, so we came up with our list of the Top 20 Hiking Trails in South Jersey.  Well, another 5 years and close to another 100 new-to-us trails, it’s about time for another Top 20 list!  That turned into a Top 25 list (and threatened to become a Top 30 list) because it’s too hard to leave so many great trails off the list!

Happy 10th Birthday to us!  In celebration of 10 long years, we are doing a series of birthday posts.  Look, here’s one right now!

Back in 2018, I gave a presentation at the Long-a-Coming Historical Society about hikes in South Jersey that you can take to walk through a little bit of history.  It went over pretty well, so why not share an updated version with the world?

Here are some of my favorites.  I’ll put 10 to 1 in front of them to make them more dramatic, but for most of these I couldn’t pick one over the other.  DRAMA!

Small Wonders – 10 Amazing South Jersey Hikes of One Mile or Less!

Happy 10th Birthday to us!  In celebration of 10 long years, we are doing a series of birthday posts.  Look, here’s one right now!
