NJTA is a cooperative project of land preservation and conservation organizations spearheaded by D&R Greenway Land Trust in Princeton, New Jersey. The group's mission is to make accurate information and maps on preserved lands accessible to the public. NJTA assembles information on trails open to the public, and posts the information on this site. We also work with state, county, local, non-profit land preservation groups and parks agencies to plan more trails. NJTA is made up of representatives from the following organizations:
Trail Description: Signs of earlier land usage are evident along this walk. Old stone walls slice down the slopes toward the creek, and along the valley sides, suggesting earlier property boundaries and perhaps field clearances. Parts of the trail follow or cross an old woodland road, and at one point the trail, skirting an old wall, passes a line of ancient oaks. Origins of the earthen dam near the northern end of the trail are unclear; the presence of nearby Lake Drive to the east suggest that the housing there was developed when a lake still backed up behind the dam. <click here to go to trail guide >
