The Garrett Family Preserve
Very Easy
Most of the six trails are a fraction of a mile long, geared more for meandering through what was once a family farm, while the orange-marked perimeter trail runs two miles along the outside of the preserve.
Cape May Promenade
Easy
Along Beach Avenue from 2nd Avenue to Madison Avenue Cape May’s promenade stretches for nearly two miles, taking you on a scenic walk or run past Cape May’s beaches.
Northwood Center
Easy
For those just starting out, or those who don’t want to commit to a long walk, take the short trail at Cape May Bird Observatory’s Northwood Center, across from Lake Lily.
Cape May Point State Park
Easy to Moderate
At the far side of the parking lot stands a trailhead. Trails range from a half-mile to 1.5 miles, each in a loop.
Cape May Meadows
Easy
The main trail runs from the gravel parking lot off Sunset Boulevard, offering an excellent chance to see wading birds, ducks, geese, hawks and eagles. One mile loop trail, with connections to other trails and to the state park.
Higbee Beach
Moderate
In the northwest corner of Cape Island, at the end of New England Road, sits the rutted parking lot of Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area. A path leads through wooded dunes to a Delaware Bay beach. More than 1,000 acres with soft sand and winding paths. Dogs must be leashed.
