Park at the boat house parking lot.
From the boathouse parking lot facing the lake go left on the dirt road and follow it along the lake and go down the hill to the furnace area. See two outhouse bathrooms go left over the wood bridge and follow this out through the campsites. This is called double pond trail. (should see blazes). Follow this a bit and when you pass the wood foot bridge at the bottom of the hill you will see a trail to the right. This is Red Dot. Take this making sure you stay on the main trail. ( there is a split a little bit out with a tree down..don't go this way) just bear left here. Follow this for a whil and you will go climb and then go down and eventually end up at Nature Jim's rock bridge. Basically stay on the red dot trail to the end. Go right at the end onto Cherry Ridge Road. Go about 1/4 mile to the top of a hill and go left. Sign indicates Old Coal trail. Take old coal and take the second right turn. This will take you to the gasline. follow the gasline up and over some short but steep climbs. When you come to the end or the T you have two options here. This is known as Turkey ridge. Go left and go another 1/4 mile and bear right onto Pines Trail. (Unmarked at this point) On Pines you will go over a short 4' rock bridge and a log immediately follwoing this if you see this you know you are on Pines. Climb this and stay on pines tothe top of the gasline. at the top go straight across onto Rattlesnake(unmarked) take rattlesnake down. This is a newer trail so its not as worn in but easy to follow none the less. take this to the end. Cross Turkey ridge and you will see another single track. This is Pickel trail. follow this along lake lookout to the end. at the end go left around the downed tree and climb the two short steep hills. at the top go right onto white dot. follow white dot out to the end. go right onto cherry ridge road. go around the red gate and take a left down the hill onto laurel pond. follow laurel pond down the hill and look for a left. take this left this is sitting bear. (unmarked). this follows the lake back. you will see where this trail is worn in and used. this is about 1.5 miles and you will end up back at wing dam. go left onto wing dam and take this back to the lake.
This will be close to your 10 mile route.
Also a note for Jason at the end of the thread:
"Also, i used mtbnj.com for directions to the park, like i always do, and it leads you to a back entrance that is closed. So be warned."
