Happy Summer, Mercerites!

Part of what we love about Mercer County is the abundance of parks, trails, farms and open space. It’s gorgeous and offers loads of healthy free fun. We polled readers on Facebook and here’s what you’ve shared as favorite parks and trails around the area!

Maps and guides to area trails:

D&R Greenway Land Trust
Lawrence Hopewell Trail
Lawrence Township Trail Guide
Friend of Hopewell Valley Open Space’s Guide to Walking Trails in Hopewell Valley
Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed

Take Pictures!

While you’re out enjoying nature take pictures and enter those into a photography project being jointly requested through partnership of the New Jersey Trails Association (NJTA), D&R Greenway Land Trust and Princeton Photography Club (PPC). Details HERE.

History buff?

Here’s a website with all the Revolutionary War sites in Mercer County. Our history-buff reader also recommends this book. For a little extra cash, the Princeton Historical Society offers guided historic walking tours of Princeton.

We’re happy to add more if you have suggestions! Now get out there and enjoy all the fresh air Mercer County knows and loves!!!
