Technically, the Bergen Arches are a rail trail.

Palisades Interstate Park is about a 30-45 minute drive (depending on traffic) north of JC along the Hudson. It's paved road riding, but has very little traffic -- a long mid section is closed to autos.

Trails for.... biking? hiking? skateboarding?

There are some unpaved gravel trails behind Lincoln Park.

I do not recall the names but there is a rail trail north of Harriman/Tallman state parks in NY and there is a trail that I believe is intended for mountain bikes across 9W from State Line Lookout by the Alpine scout camp.

Here's a good map of the NJ Rail Trails

There aren't too many within an hour or so drive from here

The Summit High Line in Summit is in its early stages. A very tiny portion is built and the rest is being constructed gradually. The NYS&W Rail Trail between Wayne and Pequannock is under construction and making good progress. In New York, parts of the old Putnam and New York Railroad have been converted into a rail trail.

Columbia Trail is great but bit of a drive to get to. Henry Hudson Trail is also nice.

There's one that the state just bought from CSX that will go from Montclair to JC. I think the idea is that it will eventually be used for commuting.
