They all connect, Ed. These are some of the best flowing trails in NJ. I understand how you could think that but once you learn them, you'll love it!

Fair to poor in my book. Trails wonder aimlessly with no point and give the park a very small feel. I rode and rode but got nowhere. The only trail that actually goes anywhere is the grass path that is just that, a flat path that runs parallel to Washington Valley road but is not very challenging. If you are new to the area I would recommend traveling a little more and go to Chimney Rock park instead. The trails are groomed better and the views are much better.
