Trail Access
The southern trail head is located in High Bridge, New Jersey, not far from the intersection of Main Street and Van Syckle Place. Although several sources instruct trail users to turn left onto Van Syckle Place to enter the municipal parking lot and access the trail, the municipal lot is actually one block north of Van Syckle on the east side of Main Street and the trail head is directly across Main Street from the parking area.
The Long Valley trailhead is located on County Route 517 (Schooleys Mountain Road) between West Maple and Fairview Avenues and offers a public parking area.
A brochure with a map of the Patriot Path trail indicates that the Columbia trail may continue north beyond Long Valley for another 4 to 5 miles where it terminates at Bartley road, this section however can not be verified from satellite images on Google Earth.

Famous quotes containing the words trail and/or access:
“It is not for man to follow the trail of truth too far, since by so doing he entirely loses the directing compass of his mind.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
