Nope, knew the answer to the question. But it's still makes you wonder...Were you expecting an answer like, "Sisyphus won?"
Cant answer if it's rideable, but it is currently snowingHow does Allamuchy deal with wet weather?
Is it ridable the day after rain or does it need more recovery time?
How do they deal with down trees? Is there a park maintenance dept, or does Jorba or the NyNj trail conference step up and clear trails. or is it just left to individuals to do the work? Like Wawayanda has a park office to report problems to and they in turn either take care of it themselves or contact the park stewards (Black Bear Cycle) or the Trail conference.Two larger trees down on lower part of Cardiac between the switchbacks and steep (that connects by Rollie Poly). I attempted to mark where they were. Will also designate on TF, since I think I'm the only one who posts trail conditions.
Rollie Poly is almost like it was leaf blown...bare trees. Some leafy goodness on Cardiac. Trails were in great shape.

Jorba has a few people who are approved by the park via training jorba arranged. Posts are seen....word of mouth or riding/ hiking through and seeing. Im sure there individuals unassociated with the park or jorba as well. To my knowlege the park is pretty well hands off (on trails / trees).How do they deal with down trees?

Normally deals well. Right now its hard to say. 1-3" of snow on the trails and its misty raining now. Decent rain tomorrow. But has been some frozen dirt this week so wont want to drain right away.. Id expect saturday to be a bit messy...but draining a little and looks like Saturday night should freeze up. Sunday would probably be pretty good.How does Allamuchy deal with wet weather?

I rode a loop yesterday from earthworm parking lot to rollie pollie and back and like 90% of trails were still covered with a crusty snow. It was slow going and some climbs were impossible to make it (for me) on a non-fat bike.Normally deals well. Right now its hard to say. 1-3" of snow on the trails and its misty raining now.

I ended up going to Stephens. Some parts had no snow and the parts that did have snow it got deeper the higher we went up the mountain.I rode a loop yesterday from earthworm parking lot to rollie pollie and back and like 90% of trails were still covered with a crusty snow.
