Trail Description:
There are a ton of trails to explore in this large forest. Finding your favorites will take some time though. There is everything from fast rollercoaster singletrack, to technical climbs to hike-a-bike sections. The best place to start is with the trail along the left side of the lake. Have fun exploring.
How to get there:
From Route 9, take Exit 6 and go West on Route 148. After about 1.5 miles, turn left onto Cedar Lake Road. Follow Cedar Lake Road for about 1.5 miles and turn left again at the sign for Pattaconk Lake. Park in the gravel lots at the end of this road.
