Ken Lockwood Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

A packed dirt road takes you along the Raritan River at the sheltered base of the gorge. There are plenty of spots to park as you head in from Readingsburg, but most of the road is closed to vehicle traffic and makes for the perfect bike route. You are right next to the water and can bike along both sides of the gorge.
