The blue trail is overgrown at the last field near Blackwells Mill rd. The bridge is barely visible and you feel almost like you are bushwhacking through that area. Otherwise, I had a blast!
Thinking of bringing my 10yr old here after watching a few videos on YouTube. He likes flowy trails without too many roots and has done 10 miles of Columbia Trail and the entire Western Morris Greenway with me. I'm pretty sure he'd like this trail so the real question is which lot to park at to...

Very fast in some parts. Went from yellow at trail head up and around to white to red then blue back to the yellow. Red is starting to be a bit overgrown so go slow especially if it is a bit wet. Overall, a very fun ride.
