The Long Path from the parking lot and across Marisco?Does anyone know what is going on with Trailforks showing a number of the Blauvelt/Tackamack trails off limits to mountain bikes? This does not correspond with the trail map on Palisades MTB site. Seems to be a very recent change.
Same with Longpond Ironworks trails on Trailforks. Trails used to say multiuse, now says no mountain bikes.
Yes, those are the areas I am referring to.The Long Path from the parking lot and across Marisco?
Technically the LP is off limits to bikes, but that small bit was granted bike access as there are no other options.
It’s possible someone flagged all LP as no bike and changed status.

So this ^ is what I expect happened, I don’t think it reflects any change in access for that short section -TF User PlumBobM merged some trails and set them hike only on Sunday.
Who is the administrator anyway? Who decides the access to the trails?It looks like it was split, and the ironworks part marked as hiking - the ringwood part is still multi.
Maybe @pixychick can add some info?
It appears that it is administered by the Ringwood SP office - if you feel like calling/riding over and asking we can make the changes.
You mean I can drive over to Ringwood park office and do this? "we" can make changes, you're going too?
FWIW the trails in Ringwood/all NJ State Parks also say NO ebike.
i mean, i thought that was the states official stance, did they change their minds?

Thanks for the clarification. I've never run into a issue with anyone there except one person who thought my SC Tallboy was an ebike because of the giant rectangle downtube. I stopped and showed him I was a 56 year old engine with crappy batteriesSo this ^ is what I expect happened, I don’t think it reflects any change in access for that short section -
If you use the Tackamack Bypass and get off the Long Path at Lizard Rock, you should be fine.
Yes 2019 Murphy changed law that class 1 equals same as human powered unless land manager explicitly stated otherwise. Sorry cannonbill hahai mean, i thought that was the states official stance, did they change their minds?

Let me guess you don't have an ebike but you have an opinion. It's 2022 my friend, and your knowledge needs updating.As for ebikes , thought it was common knowledge that they were illegal on all Mtb trails in the tri state area.
Got rid of Trailforks after they put up pay walls. I thought it was a crappy move to have riders post up trail maps for free on their site and then charge others to see them.
