Ferncliff Forest

Good network of doubletrack/fireroads and wide singletrack. Depending on route and multiple loops, enough for 1-2 hours of riding.

Ridden Trail:

Summary:
Surprisingly easy to get lost and deceptively large. I am usually very good at keeping my bearings, but on two of my first three rides I managed to exit the forest on a different road than I expected. This probably says a lot about how focussed I was on my riding. The trails were also surprisingly challenging. Overall, a refreshing surprise for a place of its size and accessibility. Some trails suitable for newcomers to the sport, but plenty of terrain to keep intermediate to advanced riders interested.

Recommended Route:
Trails to the north of the fire tower.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
The west side of Bard College campus. Long fire trails and wide single track that emerge into Tivoli Bays State Recreation Area.

Summary:
sick trails! great for freeride/dh. good for quick rides, as there arent very many trails. the good trails are unmarked. made of loose rock, good intermediate freeriding...there are some moderate dropoffs, biggest drop is around 5' be careful you know your relative position, pretty easy to become lost. best ride for the location.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
powerlines
