Jenksville State Forest
3 reviews
 3.33 of 5

Deciduous forest/pine. Plenty of shade on hot day. Roots, slippery when wet. Solitude, few if any riders. New to MTB? Eastern section-w/caution. No witnesses.

Reviewed by: Trigger ,  Cross Country Rider

Summary:
Good riding when it's dry. XC riding, nothing too technical, about 15 miles of trails. Very few forest users. Holds water/mud and is typically the last state forest in the area to dry out. Yellow trails are in pretty rough shape (mud & pricker bushes), beat up by horse traffic pretty bad recently. Blue and Red trails are pretty fun.

Recommended Route:
Start with the Red trails, then do the Blue...and if it's dry do the Yellow trails too!

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Oakley Corners
Chenango Valley SP
Shindagin Hollow
Hammond Hill

Reviewed by: Big John ,  Weekend Warrior , from Vestal (Binghamton area)

Summary:
Jenksville is more of a Cross Country type ride; rolling, mostly smooth, and not overly technical. You can indeed find some pretty long climbs that will get your heart pounding, and some fast descents that will do the same! there are a few craggy trails, but nothing like Chenango. There is one ATV trail (virtually no one knows about it!) twisting insanely downhill that will test even the most courageous crazies! It's a fun place that won't beat or scare you to death, and give you a nice day's experience.

Reviewed by: Nebbes , from Richford, NY

Summary:
Like riding Eastern section in early morning. Nobody is ever there. It gives this 68 year old senior a decent workout. Cell phone=very marginal. Avoid hunting season. www.flcycling.org/flcc/offroad/ reportedly raced the Eastern section in 2000.

Recommended Route:
Rt 38 SO/NO to Tappan Rd (north of Newark Valley). Right Howard Hill Rd, Right on Shirley Rd becomes Baker Rd to parking on right at State Forest sign.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Oakley Corners State Forest, Chenango Valley State Park.
