I live right by these woods and it’s my favorite place to walk my dog. It’s usually very peaceful. You can easily walk or ride your bike on the main trail that goes from rt 23 to the end of Farmingdale rd. But you really can’t ride your bike around the pond bc of downed trees and in the summer, the grass grows really long in those areas since it’s not maintained like the main trail is.
