Clayton Park

Review: Good condition. Starting to become covered with leaves.

Review: Clayton Park is located in Upper Freehold New Jersey. These trails are only a few miles long, but they are a great place to get in a quick ride if you're local, or to get outside when other trails in the area are too wet to ride. You literally can not get lost in here which is something that we consider a plus. I know there are tons of you guys out there that love the thrill of suddenly not being able to find your way back to the car, but that's not us. Check out the elevation screen from our ride here. Tons of ups and downs. Some of the downs are extended enough to be pretty fun. This place was totally packed with hikers and a few horses when we were there, but to be fair- it was New Year's Day, so I think the New Year's -go for a hike thing was in full effect. A Quick way to describe this trail system would be - Wide -(like wide enough for horses) - packed clay - with a lot of ups and downs. If you take a few loops around, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

Review: Always a great little roller coaster of a ride, some small patches of frozen puddles but otherwise clear and fast.

Review: Fun place to ride. Some nice loops and some short downhill challenges, mostly because of recent erosion from the hard rain. Trails are well maintained and there are several nice bridges. Highly recommend it for hiking and some challenging biking. You can ride all the trails in under an hour.

Review: This park isn't very big but it's a really fun place to ride. The climbs are pretty tough and will give you a great work out. You can pick up a lot of speed on the downhills and there is a few nice drops. Great place to check out and have a fun time riding in any weather.

Review: Im trying to explore as many "local" trails as possible. Clayton offers nice climbs and wide open trails. I will be visiting again for the climbing.

Review: Rode the trails and also told my 9 yr old hiking on the trails. Both aspects are very good. Trails are also wide enough to walk and also allow the riders to pass by. Very good trails. Will def recommend.

Review: Nice trails but I don't see how this is ten miles. Maybe more like 5. Mostly packed dirt with small roots. Nice scenery for the fall. Track is pretty wide at least a couple of feet in most areas

Review: to add to my original review...it seems because of the dry summer we had, there are now sand patches on all the trails. Keep your head up, the sand is deep and and is at the bottom of hills. Great park, great ride..it is getting more and more crowded now that the leaves are turning, so be aware of hikers etc. Aso, they will be opening this to hunting soon, so wear something bright orange (no hunting on sundays)

Review: Best thing about this place is the grippy redish dirt. Good place to check out if you have gotten bored of the flatness of Allaire. It has a big but short downhill near the beginning if u make a right at first fork. Overall Short climbs & short descents that loop. Few obstacles and some half a foot root drops. Relatively small park, the outer loop is about 3 to 4 miles from my gps. Good trail for beginners who may want to get a bit more intermediate with speed, roots & drops. Be wary, Lot of hikers on the trail, its also known to have the occasional horse rider.
