[Benny Lyman]

As good as it gets - only issue is leaves are starting to obscure some of the trails

About as good as it gets boys and girls. 3.95, I deducted 0.05 for one little mud spot on the lower trail. No frost heave, hikers have trampled down the leaves, dry as a bone. Get it while it lasts.

How does this park compare to Chimney Rock?

Twice as high. Three times more technical.
Love it or hate it. Stay on lower left first time.

Oh, you've got to LOVE IT.

@J-Dro Nice job on that new trail. So much awesome tech on one trail

rock solid with the only icy spots being the footprints.
didn't try chunky in these conditions, but def could have.
Views are fantastic when the leaves are down. Go get your sourland on.

Rideable today?

I would say you will find some mud but rideable. I'm waiting until next week when the temps won't get above freezing.

Gravel it is then. Thx Rick

It was frozen this morning but there is a ton of runoff right now, so the Maple Flats area has some stream effect

Sourland National Park!

This mornings conditions were 4.9 out of 5. No snow here either like Northern NJ got yesterday. Get it while its frozen this week.

 

[Patrick]

Frozen solid with some running water at the streams. Get it!

Wow last post was 3 months ago. Anyone been here recently? Guess I'll have to do a recon mission this weekend

please do - i figure the trees down at the sourlands will dwarf anything that's down at six mile (size wise), and i have run out of fingers and toes to count how many trees i have cut out at 6MR.

That's what I'm afraid of, and 2017 it took them forever to clear out last winter's downed trees

Sunday? (#wingman is busy Saturday) U missed us chance, @rick81721 I got a better offer to ride dry. Carry on being the "most negative poster on this board" while I keep fighting the law.

I was there on Sunday to check it out. trees down everywhere. all the low areas were swamps and the creek the runs down the mountain was more of a river hahahah. We would need a few guys and a saw to clear all the downed trees.
