This moderate 31.2-mile (50.3 km) journey, with a gentle 498 feet (152 metres) of elevation gain, takes about 2 hours and 4 minutes to complete, making it an excellent choice for cyclists who appreciate varied scenery without tackling extreme climbs.
What to expect on Wesley Lake Bridge – Allaire State Park loop from Asbury Park
Expect a ride that constantly shifts its character. Starting from Asbury Park, you'll navigate urban streets, potentially passing the scenic Wesley Lake Bridge, before transitioning to the dedicated Edgar Felix Memorial Bikeway. This 5.4-mile paved path offers a secluded, mostly flat ride through rural woods and open fields, even crossing over the Garden State Parkway on unique wooden bridges. Once inside Allaire State Park, the bikeway leads directly to the historic 19th-century Allaire Village, a major highlight. While the park has many trails, road cyclists will find the areas around the village and the bikeway extension suitable, though venturing further into the park might encounter mixed surfaces like packed sand and roots, better suited for hybrid bikes. It's an overall easy to moderate ride, perfect for those who enjoy a mix of environments.
Planning your visit
This loop offers a blend of urban and natural environments, so be prepared for varying road conditions outside the dedicated bikeway. The Edgar Felix Bikeway is generally smooth, but some older sections can be a little rough. Allaire State Park is open year-round, and the bikeway is accessible in most seasons, though winter conditions might require caution. Parking is available in Asbury Park and at Allaire State Park. Consider starting early to enjoy the quieter roads and the historic village before it gets too busy.
