Estell Manor Park

Estell Manor Park

Estell Manor Park, located in Atlantic County, New Jersey, offers a variety of mountain biking trails that wind through a scenic mix of forests, wetlands, and meadows. The park’s network includes both easy and moderate trails, with some technical sections featuring roots, rocks, and occasional elevation changes, making it suitable for riders of various skill levels. The trails are primarily singletrack, with flowing sections and tighter, more challenging turns that keep riders engaged. Estell Manor Park is also known for its quiet, natural surroundings, providing a peaceful ride away from more crowded areas, and is a popular destination for those looking to enjoy a mix of nature and mountain biking.

Maintenance is carried out by volunteers. Help us keep the trails in their best condition!

History

After the Native Americans, this was land owned by the Estell family and was the site of a glassworks in the 1800’s, then became the site of a munitions plant during World War I. After 70 years, the forest has reclaimed this area, and is now home to an incredible diversity of plants and animals.
