Creek Trail is a 4.45-mile easy hike in Six Mile Run Reservoir Site, a state park managed by the State Department of Natural Resources in New Jersey. The trail is a point-to-point route with a total elevation gain of 99 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 3.8 miles in, where the grade reaches 6 percent. The trail is open to both bikes and horses, so riders and equestrians can plan a trip on it. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in New Brunswick show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 78°F, with July peaking near 87°F. Several other trails sit close by. Cedar Trail is 0.7 miles away and Blackwells Trail is 0.8 miles away. Lois Howe Nature Trail is about 2.9 miles off, and climbers can find the Devil's Half Acre climbing area roughly 7.6 miles away.
