Land OwnerTown of North Hempstead
Bouldergeist - be very afraid- this is an extremely difficult and technical trail by Long Island standards. Turn off your strava cause no one is going fast here. Slippery when wet Slippery when dry! Ride at your own risk, you can break your bike or yourself. The trail starts off like a roller coaster but then it goes off the rails with double log piles, an optional rock face to roll down then you have to negotiate a twisty path through the largest boulder field on Long Island. Eventually you pass over and through more boulders and another optional rock face roll until you reach a few tight switchbacks just before the exit.
Disclaimer
Use trails at your own risk. Hidden hazards may exist. Avoid when wet!
