Rewrite what you knew about New Jersey. This point-to-point bikepacking route is quite the treat (if you’re willing to start with an overnighter on a Friday night at a Round Valley campsite. My favorite site is #83W). Your first day could end at either the campground at Voorhees, Stephens State Parks or Mahlon Dickerson after a full day of mostly dirt. The jump track at High Bridge is a fun visit.
Most people would feel comfortable with suspension with knobby tires 2.2” or larger. Most of the trails are purpose-built for mountain bikes although sections like Patriot’s Path or the Highland Trail might require some hike-a-biking. Adjust your expectations and be prepared if you don’t meet hit your intended mileage - singletrack can eat up plenty of hours!
To reiterate, there are only 9mi of gravel. Most of this route is on technical singletrack. Review the route and know where water/food can be found - you may be hours away!
