It’s a dangerous world out there, especially on the New Jersey roadways. Our team at Clinton Honda put together a list of some of the best tips to keep you and the drivers and passengers around you safe and sound.

1. Stop Speeding

Here’s an easy one. Go the speed limit. It’s there for a reason: to keep speeders from injuring sensible people. Speeding lowers reaction time and can be very dangerous.

2. Wear Your Seat Belts

This seems like a no-brainer. In fact, it should be a no-brainer. The majority of people wear their seatbelts in the driver’s seat (not all do), but we’re Read the rest of this entry »

Honda has long been known for two attributes. First, Honda is a cutting-edge brand continually introducing new models. Second, the automaker is known for incredible reliability. Combine these two attributes and it is no wonder that there are many Honda models that are no longer available to buy new (having been replaced by another innovation) but are still available in good operating condition on the used market, sometimes for hefty sums. Wouldn’t it be fun if Honda brought back some of these discontinued models for even one more year? Here are three that would be particularly exciting to see:

1. S2000

The S2000 was unlike anything else that you could buy at the time, and it still remains unique today. It was a two-seat roadster equally at home on a residential street as a race track. Its VTEC engine could get up to a stunning 9000 RPM. That alone would be enough to get consumers excited. Add to it the vehicle’s sporty look, complete with a fully convertible roof, and the S2000 would rival any luxury vehicle on the market today.

2. CRX

This two-seat hatchback was critically acclaimed, twice winning Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year. It was also a hit with consumers for one simple Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re like most drivers, you get nervous when driving on icy or snowy roads. Thankfully, there are tips you can follow to help make you a more confident and comfortable driver whenever you need to drive in winter weather. Check out these tips, and you’ll be ready to hit the road safely this winter.

Maintain Your Vehicle

Before you go for a drive in the sleet or snow, you should make sure that your vehicle has had its maintenance done and is in good working condition.

As the fall leaves begin to change colors, there’s no better way to experience this natural magic trick than to get outside for a walk. Parks and recreation areas around Flemington offer so many spots in which you can enjoy the great outdoors all season long.

Tuccamirgan Park

Tuccamirgan Park is named for Chief Tuccamirgan, who was the leader of a Lenape tribe in the area. Tuccamirgan befriended John Case, an early settler, and helped Case and his family survive the wilderness of what is now Flemington. The chief was eventually buried on Case’s property in what would become the family graveyard.

The 12-acre park boasts several winding walking paths through quiet fields and shady forests, offering perfect views for leaf peepers or avid walkers and runners. Picnic shelter and playground equipment dot the park, which is slated for future continued improvements.

Mine Brook Park

Located at the intersection of Old Croton Road and Capner Street, Mine Brook Park is a terrific choice for a family outing. Enjoy a picnic with friends at the picnic pavilion, which is stocked with picnic tables and grills. The pavilion is available for rentals, making it a wonderful gathering spot for an outdoor birthday party or family celebration.

Once you’ve enjoyed your barbecue goodies, take the little ones over to the tot lot for some playground fun, or take a half-mile walk along the Mine Brook. Interested in a bit of friendly competition? Round up some friends and have a great day of athletic fun at the softball field, sand volleyball court, or bocce court.

Clover Hill Park and South Branch Wildlife Management Area

Flemington is fortunate to have the Clover Hill Park and South Branch Wildlife Management Area, which comprises over 550 acres of mature woodlands, rolling fields, and several creeks. It was originally the site of a poultry farm that was the last chick hatchery in the state. Certain areas are now under contract with a local farmer for agricultural use, while other portions have been designated for public use.

Clover Hill Park and South Branch Wildlife Management Area features undeveloped parklands with a trail system consisting of old paved farm service roads. This trail system can be used to hike from Clover Hill Road to Hillsborough Road in Somerset County. Apart from hiking, the trail system can also be used for mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. The park has a small pond that can be used for catch-and-release fishing, and hunters may obtain a hunting permit.

Portions of the park have been reseeded with the hopes of attracting grassland bird species including grasshopper sparrows, eastern meadowlarks, and bobolinks. You may spot migrating waterfowl taking a pit stop at the pond. You may even spy a red fox or coyote.

Whether you’re looking for a place for quiet contemplation or a family exploration, the parks of Flemington has something for everyone. Make a point to check out some of these natural beauties and enjoy the fresh air!
