I so much want to ignore this.......but in an effort to avoid trouble for us......lots of people hike there and many of them nynjtc members, which is the only recognized trail user and have designated all the marked trails "hiking only".....several of the woods roads within, like Ludd Day (Paradise) may be defendable as public thoroughfare. ....the big picture.....locals have a different perspective....northern towns claim Newark gets off easy on taxes....wm is getting creative by trying to impose fees on improvements like dams...some would prefer development to increase tax revenue and economic growth.... yet this is a very special region, wilderness comparable to the Adirondacks, and it surrounds the drinking water supply.... pressure is constantly growing....some want to abolish the Highlands act which limits real estate value....read about the nwcdc scandal.....can Newark remain solvent without selling it...will the land transfer to the state someday or will it become Macmansions.
