The route is a medley of the best trails Jim Clawson created - known by his friends as Ort or Mr. Nature. Thank you Jim - RIP
Without question the best mountain biking trails throughout all of Wawayanda.
Challenges are not meant to be easy nor is this route.
Be safe and enjoy!
Starting location is Farber Circle, the west end of Cherry Ridge Road which is right off of Clinton Road.
FYI - after turning off Clinton Rd onto Cherry Ridge and going a half mile, the road turns to all dirt with some large holes. Proceed another half mile to where the road opens up into sort of a circle, which is the starting area.
