Patriot’s Path

< The section of Patriot’s Path mere blocks from Morristown town center begins on a crushed rock utility road next to the NJ Transit Morristown Line. It briefly narrows to a single lane before resuming hard surfaced greenway some of which is blacktopped. My route traversed wooded watershed with a point of interest being a remnant of railroad embankment from 1899. The mound was to carry tracks linking to the Rock a Bye Baby Railroad expansion craze but was never finished. Another is some of the Speedwell Iron Works ruin and Mill at the Whippany River. Signage is somewhat lacking when crossing county roads as the trail can zigzag before it resumes. [ GPX file ]
