Summary:
Hands down one of the most fun spots to ride in North Western NJ. Tons of trail options. Everything you go up, you get treated on the way down. New trails popping up all the time, especially opposite the single track down by 206. The bulldog trail crew have been adding some nice terrain. There is a great husband and wife team that does maintenance all the time. 10 plus mile rides are no problem. There are plenty of spots to bring the kids or spouses without worrying about getting worn out or hurt. Plenty of good climbs and downhills. Not much technical, except for rocks.

Recommended Route:
Been riding there for about 3 years now and without showing you the way I can't really explain it. I always try to incorporate all the north trails off of the railroad bed for a great warmup before heading out to the other points of the park. The right side of the tower is hands down the hardest route in the park (unless you stop). There is a short switchback climb just a couple of feet from the parking lot that you will truly appreciate at the end of that trail when you end up meeting up with Lake Aeroflex. The two trails that parallel the train bed from 206 are becoming my favorites due to the new "bulldog" additions on them. Just get there and start peddling anywhere and will see trails. This place rides big for being pretty small, but have fun!

7/2007

Stokes State Forest is by far the slowest, most technical, bumpy, grueling, ruthless and non forgiving place that I have ever ridin and I love it. If you can ride there you can ride anywhere.

Summary:
Many options in this park. Nothing too difficult. You can stay on the beginner stuff but there is some intermediate too. On the other hand, you can just fly down the Sussex Branch rail trail.

Summary:
This area has some wonderful trails for beginner and intermediate riders but even advanced can find some fun spots. There are about 15 miles of trails not including where you can access rails to trails- Sussex Trail for easy spinning. There are lots of rocks, rock gardens, switchbacks, roots, some crazy climbs and fun descents. Muddy in spots when it has rained but otherwise, have yourself a great time!

Recommended Route:
all good

Summary:
dirt digger really ripped the trails and put down the park but for me this place is pretty nice. it is so close to home when i don't want to waste time driving. it is my back yard. i have been riding here before the state took it over. there are some really good trails and single track here if you get to know the park. for myself looking for an after work ride it is perfect. i rarely see anyone here riding on week nights. i have the place to myself which is perfect. it is getting to be bear season there as the rasberries and blackberries come in. last year i would see bears daily. one night i had bears on both sides of the trail around me about 25 yards away. this always keeps the ride interesting so use some caution and just be aware. running in to that mom with her cubs is not something i look forward to. in summary. if you are looking for a decent place to ride and want a quick work out come to kittatinny.

Recommended Route:
to hard to explain but the outer trails provide the longest ride.
