The Edgar Felix Bikeway is a multi-use trail in New Jersey running from the beach town of Manasquan to the visitors center of Allaire State Park, for a total length of 5.4 miles (8.7 km).
It is a rail trail that occupies trackage of the former Farmingdale and Squan Village Railroad and Freehold and Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad. The bikeway opened with 2.0 miles (3.2 km) of trail in 1971, and has been expanded several times since. The Edgar Felix was the first cycling trail created in the state of New Jersey .
The Edgar Felix Trail benefited from three structures preserved from the railroads past, two overpasses for Route 35, & Route 34, and bridges over the Garden State Parkway (the rail bridges were replaced with pedestrian/cycle bridges during a road widening project).

And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:”

“Careless credulity makes them the prey of those they trusted; and then they repeat their
