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.
