    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    it's been my experience that calling the park office for anything is a complete waste of time. i've called them dozens of times over the years about trail conditions and they don't seem to care ever. i stopped bothering to call when i had a park ranger (yes the ONE time i ever actually saw one...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    rode yesterday and honestly was expecting worse. trails looked pretty ok generally outside of some really bad tire ruts just after that damn bridge on double pond. to me the worst parts were from really deep horse prints in some areas. i'm much more offended by how they left the beach area. huge...

    njdep will turn a blind eye to anything for the right amount of $$$. i wonder what ragnar paid to set up tents in the beach area. i wonder what i'd have to pay to set up a tent in the beach area...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    it looks like a FEMA camp in the beach area. i've never seen it like this. apparently they have "glamping" tents you can rent this year. i especially enjoyed dodging the 18 wheeler and forklifts they had sprawled directly in the middle of the trail today. also port a potties everywhere. maybe 30...

    oh no not this again. last year i had to dodge these guys every 2-3 minutes as i was unlucky enough to not check their routes beforehand. what a disaster that was. here it is for this year in case you want to avoid them https://www.runragnar.com/event-detail/trail/wawayandalake#course on the...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    i'm happy to say that the 2 worst trees down on red dot have been cleared, the one around the blind downhill and the one on the flat section near the twin bridges/nature jim junction. nature jim section looks like a lost cause at this point. it's been flooded and just about impassable for most...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    there's also a really angry family of wasps/hornets/yellow jackets/whatever living under (i guess) one of the bridge sections on plymouth. had the misfortune of stopping for a gel there and was bitten 6 or 7 times. REALLY FREAKING PAINFUL

    Sanitization

    unpopular opinion (?): small downed trees are fine. the larger ones though, the ones that hit the chainrings, should be removed. if not, people will just carve a new section around said obstacle. i've seen it countless times. it's one thing to preach skills blah blah but for a lot of riders they...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    park is quite dry i'd say, including all of pumphouse. to those sadists who still ride red dot, there's yet another tree down, but this one is dangerous. it's in a blind corner on one of the downhill sections maybe halfway down. impossible to see until it's way too late. i crashed hard (luckily...

    Sanitization

    not to make light of it, but a while back i was riding hemlock pretty regularly and one evening came across a large rock that someone had deliberately placed in the middle of the trail (i thought). it was pretty large and took a lot of effort to move it off of the trail. i was pretty annoyed and...

    Waywayanda SP Trail Directory

    hmm that's odd. that's the official link from the DEP. the parent site lists the maps for all of the parks. as i click through some of them seem to be very recent. others, like waway, seem to be really old. sorry for pointing everyone to a stupid old map...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    well that's great news that it's not official park business. that means it will actually get completed soon btw it's amazing to me that there's no mention whatsoever of this on the park's site. it's as if the DEP wants literally nothing whatsoever to do with any of these parks other than...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    Double pond trail: boardwalk section is almost completely overgrown which makes staying on the planks a pretty difficult task. You can't really see it anymore. Also nature Jim's bridge section is completely under water. Had to turn around. Some down trees here and there but all easily passable...
