I started with something easy, with the intention of taking on another half mile or so per week. NJ Hiking has a page of Short Hikes in NJ so I used that to help me get started.
Helyar Woods is on the Rutgers University campus, quite close to my home. It's a popular place for a dog walk. It's not quiet - the highway is close by. The trail went through the forest, around by a field (a plaque called it the "field of heroes") and through an old Christmas tree farm.
Length: About 1.5-2 miles?? I believe RU says it's 1.5 miles. It's possible we went further as we seem to have strayed from the main trail, which should have been a loop. We turned back when it was obvious this wasn't the right way. I apparently missed the main trailhead, probably because there was something going on there that day and someone was parked in front of it when we got there. I saw it when we got out, it was over to the right of where we went in/came out. I guess we went in the out door.
