The West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance and Friends of West Windsor Open Space are sponsoring West Windsor Trail Day to encourage people to explore the beautiful recreational trails in the Millstone River and Rogers Preserves. Both local organizations have been dedicated to creating new recreational trails in West Windsor Township, opening up beautiful preserved open space for passive recreation along natural trail routes.

Interested participants are invited to meet on Saturday September 15th at 1:00 p.m. at the Millstone River Preserve parking area and trailhead located off of Millstone Road near the Millstone River in West Windsor Township; additional parking will be available along Joanne Street.

The rain date is scheduled for Sunday September 16th at 1:00 p.m. Participants are encouraged to wear a hat, shoes with socks, and ideally long pants and long sleeve t-shirts.
