The New Jersey Pine Barrens are a vast wilderness region in the heart of the East Coast megalopolis. For the first time, there’s a proper bikepacking route across the Pinelands!
Easily reachable from Philadelphia or NYC by train, there’s no need for car shuttles! Each endpoint of the route is a train station connected to Philadelphia that allows bicycles on board.
If you’ve ever wanted to bikepack here without needing to slog through miles sugar sand or carry your bike across dozens of flooded roads, you’re in luck! I designed the route to avoid both of those – just bring tires wide enough (2″ minimum, 2.3″ or wider ideally) to avoid all but a handful of hike-and bike.
