The old USGS map labels the area near the top of the trail as 'Catnest Swamp'. I don't know what a 'catnest' is, but that's where the trail name comes from. At some point 'Catnest' was morphed to 'Cat Nest' on the old Jorba maps and then 'Cats Nest' on Trailforks. Not sure the history of the...

I needed to convert the PDF to a JPEG in order to upload to Maprika and I lost some resolution in the process. Hopefully still clear enough to be useful. I can't figure out a way to delete the old maps on Maprika (even the ones I uploaded myself back in the day). The app is bit clunky and...

I added Maprika and Trailforks links to the top post.

Agree. That route is a bit outdated. For the next update...

Good idea. I'll work on that next.

I updated the Ringwood mountain bike map and created some suggested routes. Let me know if you find any errors or have suggestions for improvements. Updated 2021 Map: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2n03xd75cx444z3/2021%20Ringwood%20MTB%20Map.pdf?dl=0 Maprika...

Thanks. Just sent you a private message.

Finally finding some time to update the Ringwood mountain bike map. Does anyone have an image or gpx file showing the latest reroutes for the race trail and double s? Haven't ridden those recently. Also, does anyone have a strong opinion on the location of "warm puppy rock"? All the older maps...

For anyone like me wondering about the new pink blazes, I found this post on the NY-NJ Trail Conference Website: https://www.nynjtc.org/trail-alerts/trail-improvements-ringwood-state-park Apparently hikers have been getting lost in Ringwood, so they created a pink loop (mostly on previously...

Screen shots from an in-progress update to the map. Hope to have a full version ready to share later this year.

Thanks. I’ll adjust my map.

Here is location of 6 bridges from Ryerson Middle School: Race Trail goes from Sheppard Pond to Skylands fire road. Recent reroutes are not shown in this map, but should be good enough to help you find it. Crossover north from Lot A is also new in the last couple of years. Ellen, thanks for...

I haven't done 6 bridges in about a year, but I agree it was in pretty rough shape. Should I remove it from the South Loop recommended route? Any other suggested tweaks to these routes? Lot A Out and Back: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uuu8tegsprsmzdq/2019 Ringwood Map Lot A Out and Back.pdf?dl=0...

I finally got around to updating the map. See links in the top post. Let me know if you see any errors.

Does anyone know the planned new route for the Crossover Trail west of Shepherd Lake Rd? I'm working on updating my map and would like to include that info if possible. Mark-up on the attached would be perfect. Thanks.

I made some edits and corrections to the Ringwood map. The links in the top post have been updated. Let me know if you find any errors or omissions. Recommended routes coming soon...

Awesome map, Rob. At first glance, your map looks pretty consistent with the map I posted in October. The UTM grid and inclusion of some trails that were off the edge of my map is great. Your map also has a few other trails that I’m missing--some of which I’ve looked for and have never been able...

Looks like Manny has already created a nice map of Ramapo, right? Or am I missing something? http://jorba.org/sites/default/files/RamapoMap.pdf

I've been working on it for about a year and a half so far. And I'd say it's still a work in progress--every time I go out I seem to find a new trail or something that needs correcting. Originally I just wanted to map things out well enough so I could avoid getting lost, and so I could always...
