Great idea for funding. Was this ever done more local? I saw high bridge had something on JORBA, but thought it was tied to membership.

There was specific funding for High Bridge flow, with matching funds, and JORBA contribution.

Since the Brant Lake project is on private land (and in nowhere NY), he has a bit more latitude in what he does.

Local stuff - like materials for bridges at 6MR have come through local money and material donations.
The Middlebrook Trail has some engineered bridges using the town engineer, and boy scout project "sourcing"

Anything is possible, usually requires lots of time and patience.

Thanks, great to know. Now that I’m participating in more of this forum I’ll keep an eye out... this property should get lots of traffic from lake George visitors.

Just rode this - very cool and a great place to hit after Gurney - tho completely different.
He did get the funding and another mile plus of trail will be added. 296FF254-FD1A-4B75-8323-5A0A259002D0.jpeg

New flow loop is worth the climb lol.
Finally found the overlook.
Wish I took an extra day here now that I have it down. With every long climb comes a very good downhill. Stairway to heaven has had some massaging with a machine also. Place keeps getting better every year. Stop in and say hi owner is super nice.

You got a good loop? Wife’s extended family stays in Hague for a week in August and this place looked fun for a ride since it’s close!

Really don't need a map as its one way up/down connected by loops up top. Map at The Hub or on line are accessible. I don't strava sorry.

Do we have an example of KS being used in NJ for trails?
Do you know someone who has 200 acer mountain to let the public ride for free?

On that note I would have paid a fee to ride here just to support the cause. I did donate because it's the right thing to do.
