The bridge that used to connect YELLOW to the GREEN trail.
This bridge was a way to extend our hike route in Thompson Park (Middlesex County) to 3.5 miles round trip ). The bridge is gone now but this extension can be accessed from the ORANGE trail too.
For complete hike info visit our main “Thompson Park – Middlesex County” page.
Created this photo Trail Blog on 1/2023 to archive photos/text removed from the main hike guide:
2.0 – Continue on YELLOW – don’t cross the bridge. [GREEN starts to the right, down wooden stairs.]
Longer Variation (3.5 miles round trip, uses GREEN):
GREEN starts to the right, down wooden stairs. Turn right and start following GREEN instead and cross a wooden plank bridge.
When we hiked this in summer, there were tons of butterflies in the bushes on either side of the plank boardwalk a few steps down on GREEN.
Turn right on GREEN, keep right at the split to start on WHITE, which ends at a parking lot by Manalapan Lake, and then take the dirt park road back to the lot.
