Hiking through the campground side of Allaire State Park
I started off on the FAR northern section of Allaire. There are 2 parking lots off Hurley Pond Road in Howell. When you park in the larger of the 2 (the one with the boarded up building) you are dropped right next to a nice trail.
Into Allaire Village
If you follow a few trails correctly, you will be able to cross over Allaire Rd./Atlantic Ave. then under 195, you can get all the way into Allaire Village. Before I you reach the village/railroad, you can view some marshland from a boardwalk, some animals in the nature building, and a few nice playing fields.
