i'm not sure, but i think there is an undeveloped track of land, on one side, believe it or not this is where the morris canal begins, look for a foot bridge that crosses canal and from ther into jersey city

For any decent riding you are going to have to drive. You won't have to drive hours but there certainly is great places to ride within a one hour drive from you. Hit the Trail Directory tab at the top of this website. Places up north like Ringwood & Mahon are worth the drive. Check the board for posts to make sure conditions are good first.

I've never been there, but you could try the I Dare You trail in Newark:

http://trails.mtbr.com/cat/united-states-trails/trails-new-jersey/trail/PRD_335409_4564crx.aspx

"Mostly Rocky, dirt, Rocks, beer bottles, needles, Burnt cars Crack heads, and Heroin addicts. They just opened a whole new section by the railroad tracks. It goes for about 7 miles along the other Amtrak rail passing downtown Newark which is a f*cking shit hole. There are paved roads that weave into a train tunnel full of bitches and whores. You can ride it all in an hour depending who is running after you. If you don’t peddle fast enough to you might get shot or robbed sp becareful with that. But this trail is not so bad if you ride it armed to the tip. You need flat roads when you are looking at the scenery. There is also a natural estuary with lots of birds and sea wildlife."

Highbridge in NYC. Take the PATH over and ride up. It is a good little spin that you won't forget. For real. Check out NYCMTB.com for a trail map.
