Below you will see a map detailing the area covered in this website.  The yellow highlight indicates my favorite route for hiking all the trails in one trip. Follow the tour directions below.  Hold the Ctrl key, then press P to print out the map and directions.

We'll begin the hike at the intersection of South Princeton Ave. and East Willow St. (1.)  Here you will find a driveway that leads down to the old boathouse steps.  Follow the steps down to the bottom and continue north on the trail.  After a little ways you'll come to a bridge crossing the stream.  This is the area where you will find the teahouse and the old barn wall.  Make a right after the bridge and continue on down the trail.  You'll eventually come to a fork in the trail.  It doesn't matter which path you take you'll still end up on the same trail.  On your way you'll come across a bench overlooking the lake.  Look to your left and you'll find the split path that leads to the George Eldridge Trail. (2.) Follow the split and continue down the trail. After the second bridge you'll see another split to the left.  This split will take you on a trail that takes you under the overpass on Woodbury/Glassboro Rd. and on to more trails in the Deptford/Sewell area. For now, save that path for another day.  Continue on through the rest of the George Eldridge trail.  To your left, before the the  final bridge, is another split, follow up this split.(3.) If you come to the long, third bridge, you've gone too far.  Be careful here, the trail is very narrow at times.  You'll soon exit out to South Marion Ave. (4.) Cross the street and you'll find the entrance to the Glen Trail.  Follow it down and continue on.  You'll come across a long bridge that makes it easy to get through the marshy area.  After a little ways you'll come to a fork in the trail.  You can either cross the bridge to the right and continue on to South Clinton Ave., or go left towards the Trestle.  We'll go left. You'll eventually come to the trestle.  Here you can observe the scenic views below.  Follow the trail under it and continue on.  You'll now be heading north alongside the railroad tracks.  This part of the trail can be muddy, so watch out for the mud patches.  Soon you'll come to a split, you'll know you're here because there is a post telling you where to go. (5.)  You can go straight, but we'll go left. After following this winding trail for a while, you'll exit on West Cedar Street.(6.) Go left and follow the street until it ends.  Here you'll find the entrance to the Clay Hill Trail.(7.)  Follow the trail down and you'll come to a bridge made of railroad ties similar to the one on the Glen Trail.  Cross the bridge and continue on.  You'll soon come to Clay Hill.  After taking in the beautiful scene, follow the wooden steps up the hill and over it.  Follow the rest of the trail until you exit on Mantua Ave.(8.) Next, head east and cross Mantua Ave. and head down North Hayes Ave.  Go down the gravel road past the baseball field.  Near the bottom of the road on the right hand side you'll see a marker where the entrance to Break Back Trail is.(9.)  Now the real fun begins.  This trail has some very steep hills and some muddy paths so be careful.  The trail will split at one point, so make sure you stay to the left or else you'll exit the trail too soon.  Near the end of the trail it will split again. You can take the right path and exit on N. Jefferson Ave. or continue straight and exit onto Maple St. at the Wenonah Lake.(10.)  But be warned, part of this area can be very muddy.  That's it!  Did you have fun?  Oh, you did ask someone to wait for you here with a car right?  Otherwise you'll have to walk the trails all the way back the way you came, or take Wenonah's streets back to your starting point!
