BM is one of my favorites. No admission if you park on Montrose Station road (seasonal road). Very rocky and watch out for horses on trails!! Ride over boulders and logs. Winter riding fun too and nice view at top

Saw Blue Mountain with fresh eyes yesterday. In addition to the usual mix of single and double track, two nice guys took me through some great, very technical single track (on the great WMBA maps -- thanks WMBA) -- Stinger and My Favorite Trail in particular were really just lovely. Mix of tight flowing turns with highly technical sections. Stay on the trail -- with fallen leaves it is easy (at least if you are me) to accidentally lose the trail.

Wow… This was my first east coast trail and all that talk about the #$#@!* rocks was no joke! I thought flying through NYC traffic would prepare me for this... nope. I'm rating this trail in comparison to those I’ve ridden on the west coast. Blue Mountain humbled me… I’m going back to do it again though! I’M COMING FOR YOU LOG!!!!!

For thse of you that have not been back to BM for a while, it has changed. BM is @#$% SICK. There is new everything and really big stuff if you just LOOK or ask a local. Trust me, they know!!

definitely a must-try park for North Jersey riders. Drive is easy, and the park has some excellent singletrack, although most are short trails interconnected by fire roads. I think if the local crew got motivated, they could cut some more trails as the park has a lot of rolling terrain. Also, locals/regulars were super-friendly and helpfull, and guided my group along to the best trails. The map is a bit tricky at times, pack a compass for reference. Not very big, if you got lost you'd run into a road within 15 minute i think.

Very fun. Lots and Lots or rocks. Many trails to chose from. Easy parking but costs $8 during the summer. There is a fire trail around a mediums sized pond. Several small rivers and creeks. Some hard technical riding. Deli and gas station 2 blocks away from entrance.

More rocks than stumps/logs but pretty cool. Long enough for some fun but not for real workout

BM is the best. Check out the new singletracks in the center of the park. I do about 16 miles without backtracking. Ride hard.
