The Paulinskill Viaduct, also known as the Hainesburg Viaduct, is a reinforced concrete railroad bridge that crosses the Paulins Kill in Knowlton Township.

"I traveled via mountain bike along this eight-mile long section of the Paulinskill Valley Trail after finishing up a short trip between Lafayette and Branchville on the intersecting Sussex Branch Trail." I have done all of the trail by biking it. My 11yo son and I decided to take a late afternoon ride and found this trail a great place to go. Saw the Paulniskill Viaduct not far from where I was heading and decided to stop in. A few minutes I could not hear or see the big guy anymore and I decided to keep going... stopped a few guys on the other side of Hampton roads that where walking in my opposite direction, warning them about the bear and ask them if we should call the park guards or something (I was still shaking).

a lot to see.

The Viaduct, or Hainesburg Trestle, is a long abandoned railroad bridge over the Paulinskill River near Blairstown. What is confusing in the trail guide, in one place it provides directions to Station Road and in another it tells you that Brugler Road is the trail end. Its a pet peeve of mine that more cyclist don't do this on trails. I am going to attempt it tomorrow. Such a great day for a ride, when I finished the loop I took the Sussex line trail to its start in Allamuchy a beautiful ride of 27 miles total. The trail was so overgrown that there was really no view whatsoever, just jungle. The Paulinskill Valley Trail follows a creek by the same name through a section of rural New Jersey with a strong German influence.

But it was a good ride, flat trail - my wife and I rode up to Paulinskill Viaduct. Had a bagel in Pennsylvania, and came back over to NJ and headed home! You have great views along the trail and places to get a snack in Sparta, Newton and Blairstown. In 1.1 miles the trail arrives at the massive Paulinskill Viaduct, also known as the Hainesburg Trestle.

I started at Hainesburg and went all the way till the end and back, and I suggest everyone that wants to do the entire trail back and forth to do so, as there is a slight elevation gain if you ride the trail going north. This is my favorite trail to ride and hike/walk. We decided to ride in and pass the area where the bear was.

Frogs, spiders, deer with fawn, and a bear that was very interested in my lunch as I was eating it! This being a weekday I did not see very many people on the trail at all. Near the southern end, the Paulinskill viaduct of the Lackawanna, a remarkable structure, passes overhead. Small parking area but enough for about 10 cars.

As a bike rider you must yield to the horse.

There really is no need for mountian bike and the gravel and dirt combo was just fine. It is long (about 27 miles), complete (no breaks except for a few up-and-downs around dismantled overpasses), very scenic, and, except for the opening weekend of trout season, uncrowded. On the Northern end, by Newton, the trail is narrow, has high weeds/grass on both sides of the trail, and no to little gravel, just dirt. The avoidance of horse manure is the biggest problem. Same on Pokemon Go. I did the whole thing. But once on the trail, we realized some spots were muddy but manageable.

Perhaps the various trail users (hikers, bikers and equestrians) could have a one day work party to clear this section and network. All of it was in excellent condition. Paulinskill Valley Rail Trail is a 40.9 kilometer moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Newton, New Jersey that features a lake and is good for all skill levels.

I believe it's the L&ne connecting the two. It's just a rut with high weeds on either side for at least a click. ZIP codes indicate a large majority of trail users on the Paulinskill Valley Trail are from the local communities in Warren and Sussex counties (72.8 percent). Visitors will see plentiful wildlife, such as bear, bobcat, mink, and deer, along the path, and sightings of more than 100 species of birds have been documented.

I did get to see a wide variety of wildlife and fauna. All in all we logged just under 14 miles. There is a school about 1/4 mile down the rode that you could park at after hrs. It is about 3/4 inch stone and is very round in its shape.

Biked trail from Belvidere approximately 6 miles towrds Sparta. Trail was in excellent shape! Horses by nature may spook and kick out if you approach too quickly, so just give us riders a heads up, we gladly will pull aside and wish you a great day! We biked out and reentered the trail on station rd, a short ride brought us a red tail hawk, coopers hawk, turkey ( in a tree), and a meadowlark! to wash all flop off bike. Returned to this section Jan 3, 2007 to find fallen trees now block the path.

Easily-located trailheads, plenty of parking, and even restrooms (if porto-potties are acceptable to you. There was some good food at good prices and outside picnic tables where you can sit and watch the small planes and gliders take off and land. We walked back to get our bikes and walk over to the bridge to get a look at the bear who had cut into the brush toward the river.

When we arrived back at the airport we figured that heading north would be similar to our southerly experience so we ended our ride. Starting from the end we did, the trip was downhill (very slight)most of the way. Started by climbing down into the viaduct and checking out some of the graffiti. Very pretty smooth flat, good for running, wear bug sprayDefinitely recommend this trail, especially for fellow dog owners. "A mountain bike was again my conveyance of choice for travel along the Paulinskill Valley Trail, this time for the 8.6-mile long section between Marksboro and Swartswood Station.

We stopped by Paulinskill Viaduct in Knowlton, NJ on the way back from a trip to the Delaware Water Gap. Visible from route 611 or 80, it is quite spectacular.I was heading out to the western part of and checked out TripAdvisor to see what might be of interest in the area to check out as a photo opp.

A must in Northern Jersey."
