Great Hike with Excellent Views
<p>This is one of my favorite hikes in NJ so far. Great views, great exercise, not a lot of people. The only part I would like to add is that we got a little lost at St. Michaels Villa. We ended up on the property where everything is totally fenced in, and we had to hop over the mentioned parapet/stone wall to find the path again buried in the woods. I'm not sure if we were supposed to walk totally under the bridge and around? Also we got slightly confused at the part that mentions an overpass. You're not actually supposed to cross it, just continue on in the same direction. Otherwise a great hike with tons of great photo ops!&nbsp;<img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="/sites/default/files/u29671/IMG_20160818_175232.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="598"><img src="/sites/default/files/u29671/IMG_20160818_180218.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600"><img src="/sites/default/files/u29671/IMG_20160818_184044.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="600"></p>

Great views
Did this trail on 09/25/2010. Got a San Fransisco feel when we were going down to Englewood Boat Basin. And the views were really good. The only thing that you *might* want to watch out for are the mosquitoes swarming around in *some* places. But it was very close to being a perfect day-hike for spending a nice summer day
