Glacier Ridge Nature Perserve
4 reviews
 4.25 of 5

Open in summer of 2006, Glacier Ridge is one of the latest trails built by Hich, Wade & Rich of CLIMB (Concerned Long Island Mountain Bicyclists). 95% Tight twisting single track around a natural ridge line formed by a glacier. Hard packed with few rocks or roots, with many moguls, switchbacks and technical areas. Fire roads intersect the trail for more options. The trail features some serious climbs for a Long Island trail. Most of the 8.5 mile + (and still growing) trail is made up of black diamond options such as "Revenge of Shorty" & "Foxhole". Intermediate (2.5 mile main loop) to advanced (black diamond options). Trail is well marked and maintained.
Trailhead is located near the windmill at the back parking lot of Town Of Brokhaven Town Hall. LIE exit 63N Rte 83, go 3 miles north to Bicycle Path Rd exit, make right on Bicycle Path Rd, then left onto Independence Hill Rd. Follow to end parking lot. Trailhead is to the left of windmill.

Summary:
First trip out on my friend's mountain bike was here. Very fun trail to learn some handling on. I'm not very experienced, but I learned a fair amount and had a good time doing it. I plan on going back when the leaves aren't covering it all.

Recommended Route:
Intermediate -> What Goes Up Must Come Down with each optional loop inside that.

Summary:
This is sweet singletrack that loops up and down short but often steep hills. There are lots of little rollers on the 'black diamond' trails but otherwise it's really a beginner to intermediate ride. The best part has to be the downhill section that runs in and out of the ridge... think half-pipe on dirt.

Recommended Route:
There should be close to 18 miles of trails by the summer of 2008. It's definitely worth driving there if you want a break from the rocky trails of northern NY & NJ. You also have two other really good trails (Rocky Point and Cathedral Pines) just 15 minutes away. That's a total of 30+ miles of really sweet singletrack.
