Elm Ridge Info

I haven't been to Elm Ridge, but 15 mins down the road is a tiny trail system called Tannersville-Hathaway. I did an enduro there 4 years ago and the trails were fun. Kinda small though. https://www.strava.com/activities/1919870586

Giving Elm Ridge another shot. Solid ride - Norm Zurawski's 13.4 mi mountain bike ride

I think the 2 key/must-do downhills are here. If you follow the loop you'll see that we did one of them (the southern most one on the map) twice. Just be warned that the red Strava line that stops goes into private land. Thus the stopping.

If you have more time than this I can add a tweak to give you 1 more downhill but then you're on the wrong side of the hill towards the end and you have to go up & over again. But this loop as-is should give you a good feel for the park.

Was able to check out on my drive to Saratoga. Good stuff. Too bad it's 2.75 hours from me though. Would be great to hit Roundtop and Tannersville and make it a weekend.

I think they’re on private land and permanently closed.

I think they’re on private land and permanently closed.

From the locals there on the ground I hear that that is likely never going to reopen
