Yes, kind of wide, but still interesting with climbs and dips and rocksand streams.Looking at the map they are mostly just woods roads and quad trails though, right?

Did you ever use Strava "heat map" it's pretty cool, you can see where others have ventured. Here is a sample of yesterdays ride with 2 map programs.Yeah, there's a bunch of cool stuff all around that area that I haven't gotten to explore yet. If it looks like the rain is going to hold off long enough tomorrow, and if I wake up early enough, I might go do something stupid tomorrow

Its a great scenic trail all the way to the end. Couple of great eats along the way too.6/14/20
I decided to ride some of the Paulinskill trail today. I am so bad on directions, even with Garmin and the park map I wasn’t sure I got it right until a few miles in. OK, I got this, I’m doing good. I know rail trails are kinda boring, but when it’s new I find it kinda fun. I headed from Lafayette towards Blairstown. Lots of interesting things to see along the way, and I was surprised to have the usual double track get down to narrow single track in places. Lots of people out, even at 8AM. Mostly walkers. There were some cool single track trails built to climb some rock hills, they are only maybe 100 feet and run right along the trail. Kinda like a challenging go around. About 8 miles in I came to what seamed like the end for me. A huge unrideable drop of about 40 feet. Loose steep dirt. I turned around and headed back, about 50 feet back there was a walker. I asked is this small trail a go around for that huge drop, he said yes. So I was back in business and took that trail. You would think there would be an arrow or marker there. The trail became more farm land like, with horses and nice scenery. I went through Stillwater town and a little further. My whole ride was just under 30 miles, but I had enough. I’ll have to do this trail in stages, and go back to where I left off and keep riding through Blairstown, someday.
ride up and around

Great trails though.
Yeah, it's short, but sweet. There are some other criss crossing trails here too.Interesting. I looked at your ride on Strava, and that is a trail I've never done. I'll have to fix that next time I'm up there, thanks!
Range road is called that because it goes
directly to Cherry Ridge Shooting Range, it too is an old fire road. Gets very little use though and is pretty overgrown with plenty
of washouts and branches down.
