I am oblivious. What’s the big deal about seeing quads there? I’ve been seeing them there for as long as I’ve been riding there(20yrs?)Trails were great today. But it was my first time seeing four wheelers in the park - that was kind of a bummer
The big problem was watching him tear up the side of the trail when he couldn’t get around the blocked section.I am oblivious. What’s the big deal about seeing quads there? I’ve been seeing them there for as long as I’ve been riding there(20yrs?)
I am not looking to stir the pot, but why are people so against them. I’m sure they have been in there way before there was mountain biking, no? Why do a lot of people on here, not like them? Again, I’m just curious, no judgement.
This. Allamuchy north has had a serious up tick in quad traffic powering hard...complete with a dozen or more recent spray paint efforts to mark their "race track" in the one trail i biked recently..a few is one thing. Masses unchecked ruin it for all.The big problem was watching him tear up the side of the trail when he couldn’t get around the blocked section.
Really my biggest issue is that these parks around here are really small, the same trails tend to get ridden over and over and over again and the trails get rutted out pretty bad. I’m not against four wheelers and dirt bikes, heck I rode motocross for many years and still enjoy riding when I get a chance, but I worry about what happens if left unchecked in these smaller parks.
Mooch seems to be access via BSA and 7th Day aventist property mostly....although someone cleared a tree I purposely left across the trail coming out of the cranberry ledge entrance. It had been quiet there for so long too .I've been hearing them on every ride in both Stephen's and mooch lately. That was never the case. Fuck quads they are ST killers. I have no issues with motos.
It doesn't take a pro tracker to find the culprits considering all paths lead to the back yards that border the parks lol.

I heard that stephens and all parks are now closed to passive recreation.
I was there Saturday and the lot by the river off willow was taped off. I didn’t see any indication the park was closed. But sounds like everything is changing right now.
