FOUR SEASONS OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES Monmouth County offers curving country roads for cyclists, challenging trails for mountain bikers, skateplexes for skateboarders and stables for horseback riding. You can zipline, parasail or skydive if you have a real yen for excitement or practice yoga on the beach if you are seeking serenity. Winter is a great time to enjoy ice skating, cross-country skiing and sledding.
