History
The trail is named after Edgar Felix, a cycling enthusiast and retired radio researcher. His lobbying led the town of Manasquan to obtain the eastern property rights to the abandoned Freehold and Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad in 1966. The following year the path was extended through the Allenwood section of Wall Township, terminating at Hospital Road in Wall Township.
In 2004/2005, the trail was extended west from Hospital Road across state park land to the public access area of Allaire State Park and north along the abandoned Route 18 right-of-way to the Wall Township Municipal Complex.
