Anyone here knows the Saddle River secret MTB Trail in Bergen County?

[Weeping Bear]

I'm just curious, who rides the secret trail in Saddle River County Park here? "Secret" because I haven't seen any maps of it in trailfork, or all trail or MTB project. Is it even secret at all? Is it by JORBA or locally made by residents? Does anyone have info on this? I heard there are even more short secret practice trails by grove park in Ridgewood. Thank you for advance answers and thoughts!

if you want to know about it, look at strava heat maps, and segment explorer.
Not really something we are going to talk about here. thanks.

wow! this is very interesting. @Patrick so if it is illegal, is there a way we can make it legal?

I don't know enough about it to comment.
Just that every time it gets "busy" the people get busted, and whatever is built back there gets taken down.
maybe a combo of private land and watershed?
