Trail Description:
Varied terrain with something for everyone. Many of the trails climb up the ridge (300ft+ vertical) and wind around. There are some very technical climbs and descents. All trails are rideable. You don't have to carry your bike. As with most NJ area trails, it can get very muddy after a rain or in the spring.
How to get there:
Located off of Route 22, it is located on Chimney Rock Rd. From Rte 22 West, you can go directly onto Chimney Rock Rd. North to a park entrance on the right. From 22 East, you need to take the overpass (Thompson Ave.)just East of Chimney Rock Rd. and loop back over 22.
Additional Notes:
This is one of my favorite areas. Be polite to hikers and other trail users so we don't want to loose access.
