Review:
The Edgar Felix Bikeway is a 5.4-mile long rail trail between Manasquan and Allaire State Park in New Jersey. The original trail opened in 1971 on a former roadbed of the Farmingdale and Squan Village Railroad as well as the Freehold & Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad. The Edgar Felix Bikeway was the first bike trail in New Jersey and it has been expanded several times. The Manasquan-Farmingdale segment of the Freehold & Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad was abandoned in 1966. Retired radio researcher and cycling enthusiast Edgar Felix managed to convince the borough of Manasquan to purchase the abandoned roadbed. The path was extended through the Allenwood section of Wall Township, ending at Hospital Road in Wall Township. The trail was extended in 2005 from Hospital Road to the public access area of Allaire State Park and along the abandoned Route 18 right-of-way to the Wall Township Municipal Complex.
