SaveOne of the most technically demanding (rockiest) riding destinations in NJ - even if you don't take the optional boulder lines. Clockwise is the preferred riding direction - head out past the pond and start on Lower Trail 1 then 2. Then head up to New Shoes and explore from there. When lower trails are wet, you can climb straight up the Pipeline to get to the good stuff. The upper trails tend to dry out faster.
