D&R canal path is local for me in central NJ and you could really make the route as long or short as you like. It parallels route 1 and the Northeast Corridor of NJ Transit.
I haven’t yet tried this myself but have wanted to take the train up the the Brunswick area then ride the trail back home (between Trenton/Princeton.) Or vice versa and cycle north then take the train back. Just haven’t had the time lately but have otherwise enjoyed miles and miles of traffic free riding on various parts of the D&R for over a decade. On nice weekends the trail has its own busy traffic areas (bikers/runners/walkers,etc.... especially around Princeton and also out near Washington Crossing up through New Hope for the portion the parallels the Delaware River) but if connecting long sections for a day in the saddle you’ll get a nice mix of some quiet secluded areas to balance things out. I haven’t yet ridden the main trail further north than the Kingston area but have otherwise ridden just about everything south through Trenton and then up along the Delaware to Frenchtown. An additional benefit of the Delaware River feeder canal route is getting to cross back and forth between NJ/PA to further vary your routes and make different loops. I also just found out about a trail that crosses over from North NJ into NY for miles of mostly paved riding that a friend has been riding lately but can’t recall the name. You should also look into the Columbia trail crossing east to northwestern NJ as you may be able to pick that up from a train as well o. One of the northern NJ transit lines.
