Lawrence Hopewell Trail

The Lawrence Hopewell Trail is over 20 miles of multipurpose, recreational trails that run through public and private lands in Lawrence and Hopewell Townships in Mercer County, NJ. The idea for the LHT grew out of a commitment to improving the quality of life for all who live or work in Lawrence Township and Hopewell. More specifically, the trail will help provide an active and liveable community with opportunities for recreation, health and fitness, transportation, and outdoor education. The trail is:

Designed to be safe, family-friendly, and handicapped accessible.

Intended to meet the health and recreational needs and interests of walkers and of novice and experienced cyclists.

Providing opportunities to link with planned and existing local trails.

Connecting local communities.

Providing access to open space.

A community activity for the benefit of the community.

The mission of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation is to enhance our community by planning, designing, implementing and maintaining a safe public system of biking and pedestrian trails. To create a pilot project in the Hopewell and Lawrence regions with Bristol-Myers Squibb and the Educational Testing Service corporate sites serving as anchors.
