Ceres Park, NJ

ABOUT THE PARK: 
Ceres Park - Mantua Township
There are two sections of park separated by Chestnut Branch.  From what I read on mountain bike forums, there used to be a connecting bridge around 2007 but it seems that is gone now.  Others who have crossed over from one side to the other apparently use the Route 55 overpass.  I hiked this as two separate sections, driving from one to the other.

DIRECTIONS: 
GPS Coordinates 39.74846, -75.14693
Parking Lot off of Main Street

This is where yellow ends but going around the lake to the left ...
