Note; Heading Northwest, the trail is undeveloped. Not sure if it's ridable.
The wide, paved Middlesex Greenway heads East, into the woods and underneath an active RR bridge. The trail is straight as an arrow. Travel through a below grade corridor underneath Lake Ave, the Graham Ave pedestrian bridge and Main St at 0.5 miles. Cross Pierson Ave, as you enter Edison Township, where a long pedestrian bridge takes you over Route 1 at 1.2 miles. This was as far as I traveled.
Note; This section of trail is part of the EAST COAST GREENWAY.
The trail is now at grade, with two road crossings, before traveling underneath I-95 at 1.9 miles. Cross-light over busy Woodbridge Ave. Come to a cement ramp that brings you up to an intersection at 2.6 miles.
Note; Right leads to the Dudash Park parking lot.
The trail then travels underneath King Georges Rd into Woodbridge Township, followed by Crows Mill Rd, before ending just before an old RR bridge over the Garden State Pkwy. The trail then turns left, out to E Williams St and Girl Scout Park, where you'll find a playground, after 3.7 miles. The old rail bed is undeveloped East of the Garden State Pkwy.
