Capoolong Creek Trailhead Landsdown Capoolong Creek Wildlife Management Area, Franklin Township, NJ 08867

"The northern trailhead. Unfortunately as of winter 2024 the northern 2/3 of the trail are closed. Recently flooding has seriously damaged sections of the trail. We were told by a local that there is an effort to revitalize it."

"One of the best creeks around. As others have mentioned, the trail can get quite muddy. Aside from that, it’s a great trail!"

"Hiked the entire trail from Landsdown to Pittston on Jan 14, 2023. Decent trail, quiet, little bit of mud. Presently a portion of the trail was marked with a "Closed" sign but it was passable. Important: the southern end of the trail in Pittston has surprises: a couple boarded up buildings along the trail that appear to be the freight houses for the old Pittston train station. Also, this end has no public access and is technically a dead end because it ends at the private driveway of 381 and 383 Pittstown Road so you really need to walk back to White Bridge Road for public access."

"Nice local trail that until recently was little used. The Capoolong is a beautiful creek and runs through some of the most scenic parts of Hunterdon County. It’s hard to believe you are only 5 minutes from the highway. The trail head to the first Kingtown Road entrance is fairly well worn and marked. From there is seems to be less travelled and maintain. It can narrow down to a footpath and be a bit wet depending on the time of year, so proper foot wear is key. Some of my favorite highlights are the now dilapidated Pittstown Railroad Station and the scenic Whitebridge section. This trail goes along a lot of private property, which includes the Creek. Pay attention to the Posted signs."

"This trail used to be maintained much better. When I went this past Spring (2017), it was overgrown, and parts of it were swampy. If you want a nice path to walk on, this isn't the place for you. At least not the stretch from Pittstown to White Bridge Rd."
