Jungle Habitat

General Information

Jungle Habitat, located in West Milford, New Jersey, was a Warner Brothers-owned theme park that opened in the summer of 1972, and closed in October 1976. By November 1972, the park had 500,000 paid visitors. The park contained well over 1,500 animals, a drive-through section and a walk-through section. Read More fun stuff on Wikipedia. Many years later, under the guidance of JORBA rep Mergs, this one time animal paradise is rapidly evolving as a bikers paradise. Home to the Town Cycle H2H race Rumble in the Jungle, the trail network grows almost monthly in the summer months. Someday, the powers that be may be able to link up this park with Ringwood State Park to form a super loop.

Trails

Trail Name	Blaze	Difficulty	Description
Babs	?	Advanced	Incredible Singletrack on a bunch of exposed rock.
Boon	?	Advanced	Technical Singletrack with flow. There are a few options on this trail that can make it very advanced, if you choose to ride over some of the huge boulders, instead of around them.
Boulderdash	Light Blue	Advanced	Connector trail to get you down to Dump Truck Hill
Dump Truck	Green	Intermediate	Lollipop trail that is now difficult to find due to the pipeline work. Look for the cairn to mark where to cross the pipeline cut.
Fish	Orange	Intermediate	Singletrack on some exposed boulders. Look for the giant boulder that you can climb under, find the coffee can, and sign your name in the geocache book.
Hippo	Yellow	Intermediate	Singletrack
Junk Yard Dog	Dark Blue	Intermediate	Singletrack
Lower Chute	Red	Intermediate	The lower lower chute sections can be very wet depending on the season, it also gets pretty advanced at the very bottom.
Otter Slide	Red	Intermediate	Another right of passage to complete this climb from the bottom, though it's been easier as of late.
Rhino	Orange/White	Advanced	Awesome Jungle singletrack, land rights have a portion of this closed to bikers. There are 2 optional very large rock rollers on this trail that are quite smooth with great runout. Great rollers to learn on.
Tanks	Orange	Intermediate	Ride through the old tanks. There is an optional line to ride across one of the tanks, if you dare.
Tiger Pen	Orange	Intermediate	Clank Clank as you run over the old conduit. Look for the old tiger pens.
Warthog	White	Intermediate	The main loop around the parking lots. Flows great in both directions.
