Track Loop

Track Loop is an easy, 1-mile loop in Thompson Park on county land in New Jersey, about a mile from the center of Freehold. It is a short outing with a gentle climb of about 10 feet, so the trail stays nearly flat all the way around. The loop is about 1 mile long and has no major hills, with the steepest stretch at about 5% on the 0.36-mile mark. The trail is open to both horses and bikes, which makes it a good choice for riders or for a ride with a horse. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Freehold-Marlboro weather station run around 72°F in May and 78°F in September. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the loop, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly cooler. Several other trails sit close by. Wanderer is about 0.1 mile away, Paved Trail about 0.2 mile, Woodland Trail about 0.3 mile, and Marlu Loop about 0.5 mile.
