The Landsdown Trail is 1.5 miles long and stretches from Lower Landsdown Road to the center of the town of Clinton. The trail’s natural surface is conducive to hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. The trail traverses through both open fields and forests as well as some wetland, offering several opportunities to view a wide range of wildlife. At one point the trail crosses over the Capoolong Creek, which is one of the main tributaries to the South Branch of the Raritan River. The State’s Capoolong Creek Trail is a short hike down Landsdown Road and offers about an additional four miles of hiking, and ends in Pittstown. For more information on the Capoolong Creek Trail, contact NJ Fish & Wildlife at 609-984-0547 or visit www.njfishandwildlife.org/wmas.htm. The Landsdown Trail does provide limited access to the South Branch of the Raritan
River and the Capoolong Creek for fishing. The river is stocked with Rainbow, Brook, and Brown Trout. A state fishing license with
a trout stamp must be displayed. The parking lot on Sidney Road allows access to field edges, but currently has no formal trails.
