This is Hike #41 "Allaire State Park" in the 3rd edition
of 50 Hikes in New Jersey and is
also described on this page
from the NY-NJ-CT Botany Club. The first half of
the hike is a horse-shoe shape in the northern part of the park (north of Altantic Road). The remainder traverses paths south of Atlantic Road and passes through
the restored Allaire Village, the highlight of the hike. We added about a mile more of walking around the village, bringing the total distance to 5.5 miles.
