Twisty Trail is a short, easy hike of about 2 miles 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 low elevation gain of about 10 feet, so it's a gentle walk rather than a climb. The trail is open to both horses and bikes, which makes it a flexible option for riders and equestrians. The route is mostly flat, with the steepest stretch coming early on at about 3% grade. The high point is around 91 feet, and the low point is about 61 feet. 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, while July averages about 87°F. Several other trails sit close by. Cedar Trail is about a mile away, Creek Trail is about 1.6 miles off, and Blackwells Trail is about 2.2 miles away. Climbers can find the Sourland Mountain Preserve about 9 miles from the trail.
