NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line drops you right at the trailhead
Parking available at Columbia Trail lot on Main Street
Keep eyes peeled for herons along the riverbanks
Start in the storybook town of High Bridge, then wander through Ken Lockwood Gorge where the Raritan River carves through hemlock forests. This easy 7.5-mile escape feels worlds away from the city, and you can get there by train.
