Nassau Trail conditions

Trails are in good shape (except for a few usual wet spots) and it is really starting to get overgrown. Also ran into a couple of downed trees that should be pretty easy to remove with a saw.

Anyone been recently? Thinking of going today. Anything to avoid bc of wetness or overgrowth?
 
Conditions good and Foran was good. "Old side" definitely needs a haircut. We rode Flatlands and Chips mostly. No major trees except at the way north/bottom of Chips near a rock feature. Looks like it's been cut thru on one side and then someone gave up. Face hovering gnats and humidity were brutal today.
 
Quick question, I have not been here in a few years, but I am going to be in the area tomorrow so am considering riding the trails.
I heard about some of the trails closures etc.. is there anything I should be aware of?
 
Trailforks shows what's closed (it's the northern half of Springside). Well, at least on my phone it did. Desktop shows different but it's basically the X section as far as i know:

"All dotted trails are hiking only by order of NJ Dept of Environmental protection." Is this accurate? I thought the closure was due to a deed restriction.

DEP holds the deed if I recall.
They are enforcing the restriction and the town would lose access if they didn't comply.

They are still working towards a resolution.
 
So looking at the official HB trail map @SAM posted, Brogans run appears to be ok for Bikes. Yet on TrailForks it is not. Which is correct?

This is from the Bike Hunterdon Facebook page - which also has a route going right through the closed section.
I haven't been up there in a bit (or anywhere) - are there 'no bikes' signs at the appropriate places?

I'm going to change it on TF, and reach out to our contact - It is probably wrong, since the perimeter trail around it is hiking only.

This creates a problem in TF - I think there may be a trail missing.
One of the trails needs to be split - so a little more work to do.
