Columbia Trail through Ken Lockwood gorge begins in High Bridge.

Henry Hudson trail crosses the Shore Line in Matawan.

D&R Canal trail can be accessed from the Dinky line to Princeton from Princeton Junction.

Another commenter mentioned the proximity of the Edgar Felix trail to the Manasquan RR station.

The Raritan River end of the D&R Canal Path is only 1.3 miles from the New Brunswick train station.

Columbia Trail: take RVL to High Bridge, weekdays only. Trailhead is just 1/4 mile up main street.

D&R: closest station would be Bound Brook, also on RVL. Google D&R Canal Lock 11.

HHT: less than 1 mile from NJCL's Aberdeen-Matawan station to the Stillwell St trailhead on the southern half or the Gerard Ave trailhead on the northern half.

TIP: turn on the biking layer in Google Maps.

Also highly recommend the Columbia Trail. Very scenic, particularly going from High Bridge through Ken Lockwood Gorge.
