The Rock is going to be a mess for awhile, unfortunately, along with 6M and Sourlands. If you're still in the area, check out Round Valley - about the only trails in Central NJ that might be ok. I did TM/Trail re-route at Allamuchy North today, and IT was a mess, so that's a good indicator that most trails in Jersey still need a few more days/week to dry out.
I'm going to check conditions tonight .
Unless someone beats me to it.
I'll be SS the road tonight looking for hills.

It's a 3 rating more dry than wet. You will get muddy leg syndrome your bike will get splashed with mud but overall surprisingly ridable.
Stay away from lower blue I rode in from Tulo rd and missed the turn up the fire road climb.
It's really bad!!

It's getting better, there was a noticeable improvement since my last visit on Tuesday. I scoped out Blue once more. Going up (clockwise) from Newmans it's fine. Once you pass the logover at the top there are some muddy corners (which improved a lot in the last few days). One of them is still a total disaster. I took a right onto the fun downhill connector to avoid lower blue.
The rest of what I rode was in pretty good shape. The one exception was 2 mud pits coming down yellow (between Miller Ln and the 4 way intersection).
For the love of god just ride through the middle of whatever mud you see. There is too much widening happening at these spots.

Only rode Red, White and Blue last night. Go get some! The
mud holes on blue are starting to get a dry line through them.

rode blue and red last night. this was my first time at CR and couldn't for the life of me make my way over to yellow/orange. I crossed the CR road, ended up in a river and followed a trail to nowhere. had to turn back and ride red again.
blue is a little muddy. lots of ruts. Red is nice and dry. overall a nice change of pace from Allaire.

Yeah it's easy to get turned around. Park at the ballfields on Chimney Rock Road and you can more easily hit yellow and orange.

there's guard rail on the other side between where white dumps you on to CR road and Logan rd which is the fire road just past the dam on the right

check out the park map, red will put you to Logan which is the grey dotted line in the pic, head towards CR road. make a left on CR and the behind the first guard rail is a fairly steep climb which will link you to the main orange loop. Orange is my favorite trail in CR
