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).

Famous quotes containing the words edgar and/or felix:
“Come Vitus, are we men, or are we children? Of what use are all these melodramatic gestures? You say your soul was killed, and that you have been dead all these years. And what of me? Did we not both die here in Marmaros fifteen years ago? Are we any the less victims of the war than those whose bodies were torn asunder? Are we not both the living dead?”
—Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Hjalmar Poelzig (Boris Karloff)
“With us justice is the true measure of religion.”
—Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
