Let's Bring the discussion about the road and possible solutions over here.
All good info from @Fat Trout - Thanks Kev.
We don't want to be the bad guys here - so we'll need to get some possible solutions to this issue.
@mattybfat and @ReggieHammond are in there often too.
The school lot is off limits during the week, (?) - not even sure it is a great w/e idea w/o permission.
That lot at the end of DP Road is small, but at least there was a composting toilet.
Anything that JORBA can do? Even $$$ - I'm a little behind on who is taking the lead in DP, is it still @Apache1 ?
I think this problem required a dedicated liaison (nominating @Fat Trout!)
Ideas - kinda pros/cons of anything we can think of.

Check out the email I just got in regards to my inquiry with the state police!
********
Subject: Deer Park Road
Good afternoon, as follow up to your inquiry to the NJ State Park Police regarding the closure of Deer Park Road to public access. The road in question, while a primary access point to a section within Allamuchy Mountain State Park, is actually a private road as it was vacated by the Township of Allamuchy. DEP has been consulting with the private residents also property owners of the road to seek a resolution on making the needed improvements to the road and to allow the public to access the state park. The private residences have removed signs and the public may once again enter the park from this location. However, please be mindful that park hours are dawn to dusk and to be respectful to the private residences along this road and follow all state park service rules and regulations.
Thank you for your inquiry.
