Overview of proposed MUP3 alternatives

The proposed action would add two new segments to the MUP, totaling approximately 1.5 miles of new trail. One segment would be constructed at the Nine Gun Battery and the other would be developed in Fort Hancock between Magruder Road and Gunnison Beach. NPS began developing the initial segments of the 12-foot wide MUP in 2000 to promote nonmotorized use of the park and create a safer environment for visitors. The first phase of the MUP, completed in 2004, was approximately 5.5 miles in length and provided nonmotorized access from Sandy Hook's entrance to the Fort Hancock ferry landing. The second phase, which was completed in 2008 and 2009, added approximately 3.1 miles of trail and created a loop between the North Beach Plaza, the Gunnison Beach Plaza, and the Mortar Battery at Fort Hancock.
