Try a different NJ trail

[qclabrat]

I'm planning to ride parks in NJ which I've never been during the month of August. My plans are to visit two up north, one in central and another in the south. Using the mtbnj directory, so if it doesn't meet your expectations of north/central/south, blame @Patrick.
My short list at the moment are Mahlon, Kittatinny, Perrineville, Mercer. If you check out a new to you park, post up here.

Which is central?

😂

I like this idea and should honestly do the same. Perrineville and Mercer are sort of the same area as far as I'm concerned. Also, if you've never ridden Clayton you could do Perrineville and Clayton in the same day since they're rather close to one another.

None of those are south!

I was just about to say the same thing.

Don’t see anything north of rt80…. North of rt80 = rock riding.

2 of the 4 are north of route 80.

Guess they are so far west that you have to worry about banjo music 😳

Good, idea. I haven't been to Clayton in a while and hear a lot of good work has been done there also Perrineville doesn't yet have many miles of trails yet.

Been to Ringwood, Waway, and Jungle plenty of times as have most here. Thinking Stirling, Stewart, Port Jervis but none are officially in NJ. Maybe September I'll post a thread on riding neighboring parks outside of NJ. I've actually never ridden a PA park yet.

Ah…. Not so fast Walt. If you add in the stuff across millstone and up/across Agress… it adds up to more than you think.

Nox & Wiss are two great (but very different) PA parks…

This is by no means a comprehensive loop.

Looks like a fast park. Guessing a hardtail the better choice?

Hardtail, yes. SS ? Not my first choice.
