Description
The Camden County College trails seem to be geared towards beginners and intermediate riders, although the newer trails are a bit more challenging. The trails follow a gradual hill down from the college to Rt 42, and runs along a hillside near Rt 42. Although these trails aren't the most challenging, they are fun to ride, and are a good way to get a short ride in after work. The trails are blazed with colored arrows, helping to keep to a specific route, but it's easy to connect any of the trails. These trails are used by various people, so watch out for runners, dirt bikes, and walkers.

Review: I love this place! This is not the most challenging trail but it is the most fun that I found in NJ. If you like down hill, this place is not for you. If you like rocky, rooty trails, , this place is not for you. If you like long, leg burning climbs, this place is not for you. If you abhor "sugar sand", , this place is not for you. But, if you like super fast rolling single track, you will love this place.

Yes, it is on the smaller side, and some of the trails are not well marked, but don't worry, you can't get too lost. The blue trail is kind of the main trial that runs the perimeter, and most of the other trails will link back to this one. This is a great place for beginners to get their feet wet, but it is also a great place for better riders to just have fun and blast around. The section that I like a lot is the one that is super tight and twisty. You really can't go faster than a crawl, but it is great for honing your balance.

Most of the trails are fast, rolling hills, with a few steep hills or down-hills thrown in. Most trails are not rocky, and fairly free of obstacles. There are a few little bridges and log crossings, but nothing crazy.

All in all, this place is just plain fun with a little something for everyone.

Review: Marked, barely. Got lost a bunch of times and back tracked for most of the time there. Ended up on private property a lot. Despite that, good place overall. some decent climbs, obstacles, jumps, and technical spots. A bit of everything, but doesn't excel in one thing.

Similar Trail: GCC and Ceres is within 15 minutes making this area a 3 for 1 riding day, and all places feel different which is good. GCC > CCC > Ceres in my opinion.

Review: So, I started riding on bmx years ago. I just recently started back up on mountain bike. I love trails, but I personally am not quite ready to ride tiny little singletrack or burn a crazy steep hill. This set of trails is ideal for a nice warm-up...leading right into semi-challenging singletrack. There are a couple little obstacles here and there..and a bridge. Really a nice trail.

Quick note: There are definitely some more advanced trails at this place.

Similar Trail: Ceres....though this place is a little bit on the confusing side.

Review: Nice trails, a little sandy in spots but a nice change from the trails i normally ride in the wissahickon. One thing the description doesn't mention are the couple of bridges spread out through the trails which are fun. I was also surprised at the amount of climbing, nothing that major but more than i expected, short steep stuff is most common but theres a long grinder thrown in there as well. Trails aren't that well marked but its such a small area that getting lost isn't to easy to do.

Review: 2 new trails were added over the winter plus a new section to Sophias Trail. Some new TTFs have been added. 6 miles with no repeats. Fun place to ride with well maintained trails. Dries out a day before any other SJ spot.

Review: Lots of single tracks off the main trails for a small area with some small climbs and descents. Looks like some new trails have been cut in recently. It is kept clean. Really enjoy riding here.

Review: Nice trail system. Plenty for the beginner (blue trail), while there are some other trails that are more technically challenging (green, yellow). Also, I spoke to a township police officer that stated that he knows nothing about tickets being issued to bikers.

Review: UPDATE - I called Camden County College today, the operator didn't know who to direct me to about the trails. He put me on hold and asked his boss and he said the trails are open for bikes......so take that information as you will and at your own risk, I'll keep trying to find out who I need to talk to.

Review: We took a quick ride on the blue trail today and ran into a hiker/ fellow mountain biker who said he received a $35 1st warning ticket the other day from the local police. Apparently you are no longer allowed to ride there. Campus security informed us that you can call the college and let them know how important the trails are to us, the decision to close the trails is being reviewed. I will be trying to find out who over there needs to be contacted and I'll post the information as soon as I can.

Review: I often bike and run at this park. I went there on 3/17 to go trail running with my dog and much to my dismay there were bright yellow signs posted all over, NO bikes NO dogs etc, enter at your own risk private property. Not sure if it is enforced.

Review: Nice trail system. Well marked. Easy to follow and cross connect. A good place for beginners to learn skills with some very manageable stunts and technical sections. Drains well. A good place to ride when everything else is swamped. A fair amount of mileage for such a compact setting (New trails added. Almost 7 total miles available). Great to have a place like this so close to a dense urban area. Also open for night riding.
