The Woods of Wenonah Trail System is a network of easy, scenic trails in Wenonah, NJ, totaling just under 6 miles and maintained by the Wenonah Environmental Commission.

Trails are fairly easy to travel on, but some get muddy or swampy (there are planks in most of these areas).

Along the trails you can see Wenonah Lake, Comey’s Lake, Dilk’s Pond, Monongahela Brook, Mantua Creek, and a Tea House.

There are small loops of 1 mile or less around certain areas such as the lakes and Monongahela Brook, but the longer trails (Break Back Run Trail, Mantua Creek Trail, and Glen Trail) are more straight-through. By combining a few trails (plus a little street walking), I made a loop that began and ended at the parking lot for Wenonah Lake.

If you want a New Jersey hike that feels like you went somewhere, but still fits into a busy day, Tillman Ravine Trail is a solid pick.

This is a fairly easy, mostly out-and-back hike (about 1.8 miles) in the Tillman Ravine Natural Area within Stokes State Forest in Walpack Township, NJ.

You’ll walk through a ravine carved by Tillman Brook, pass small waterfalls, and cross a few little bridges. It’s short, but it doesn’t feel boring.

The trail also has a fork early on, and choosing the right direction makes the whole hike better.
