This place has some great single track loops that can be ridden in any direction. It will challenge an intermediate/advanced rider with steep climbs, logs, and technical rocky areas which will enhance your skills if you ride it often. The east side of the reservation (verona/cedar grove) has the smooth trails that are cut into the fall line. They are over grown at the end of June through mid September but people are working to keep them rideable this year. The westside (caldwell side) is more rocky and technical and a good choice for the summer months. The trails marked with Blue blazes are not on the map but seem to be designed my MTBers and will always connect back with mapped trails. If you learn the network you have about 8 or 9 miles of fun single track. If you know your way around the area you can connect with the West Essex Trail head NE which can connect with some pirate trails and Mills Reservation. You can also road ride a about 2 m
