Patriots' Path is a developing network of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, as well as green open spaces that span across Morris County. Originally conceived in 1968, Patriots' Path provides opportunities for light outdoor recreation while protecting and enhancing the environmental and aesthetic integrity of streams, valleys, and uplands. Patriots' Path links several dozen federal, state, county, and municipal parks, watershed lands, historic sites, and other points of interest across southern Morris County.

Stretching from East Hanover where it connects with the Lenape Trail in Essex County, Patriots' Path currently extends as far as Allamuchy Mountain State Park in Sussex County, and the Village of High Bridge in Hunterdon County.
