Road crossings are clearly marked and drivers seemed very polite to allow bikers to cross the street safely. Too bad the trail is not closer to or along the water, but still this is a great path and we will return.

Part of the Monmouth County Park System, Mount Mitchell Scenic Overlook is the highest elevation point between southern Maine to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. That's pretty incredible and offers stunning views of Sandy Hook, the Atlantic ocean, and NYC skyline and surrounding NY cities. It is such a special spot and also includes a beautiful 9/11 memorial.

Located right off of highway Route 36 and about a mile from the Historic Twin Lighthouse, Mount Mitchell affords fantastic views of the bay, Atlantic Ocean, Manhattan, Freedom Tower, Verrazano Bridge, Statin Island and Brooklyn. Bring your binoculars or use the coin operated viewing machines. The best photo opportunities require a 500+ mm lens. It's a small park with manicured grounds, paving and a small but nice playground with apparatus to keep the kids entertained. There is a well done 9/11 memorial to those who lost their lives in the twin towers that day. The memorial includes the various towns and the names and ages of those who died that day. There is a time line on the pavers which indicates when the first tower was hit, the second tower, the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pa. .Information plaques can be read concerning the area and Mt. Mitchill. It's only 500 feet off of Route 36 and well worth the 15 minute stop. Locals consider it a romantic spot.

They have an adjacent parking that's small compared to its counterparts and most of the visitors end up parking on the roads. I take my son here for the weekly soccer class conducted by Sport Squirts. There are also other sports like kids baseball that happen regularly. The park has a good proximity to Main Street Metuchen and in a calm neighborhood. The grass level I feel could be maintained better as it's not uniform most of the times.
