This fallen tree is still there. At the bottom of what can be a very fast downhill section.
There is another tree across the Clay Pit Trail, the climb into/out of Huber from the small parking lot on Locust Rd.
I rode everything in both parks yesterday, and the trails are in pretty solid shape, for late winter.

If that's where I think it is, it goes to Waterwitch. It's not a literal gated community, but it is "private" in the sense that they definitely don't want you there if you don't have a house. Definitely smart not to make enemies out of them, if you follow my meaning.
Both parks are popular for walking/hiking. You get less walkers in Buttermilk Valley than you do in Rocky Point, but it's not a mind blowing difference. I guess most people prefer the views from Rocky Point...
haha, there's no such thing as "strictly biking" trails in NJ.
As an FYI, when a downed tree is reported, I let the MCPS Park Manager know, and a Park Ranger cuts it out. We do not have volunteers/Tom Sawyer using chainsaws in any Monmouth County Parks.
If you spot a downed tree, please indicate the location on a map and get it to me. I can then forward the location to the Park Manager, who will dispatch a Ranger to remove it.
Is this on the trail or parallel to it? It's hard to tell from photo. Please mark on a map, these trails intersect at two points and I'm not exactly sure where this is, I think it's the top?

The log across Claypit Run is still there. I don't have an exact location but it is not that far up from the parking lot off Locust Pt Rd.
I included maps of Huber and Hartshorne below. They are useful when indicating locations of downed trees on trails.
Typically I'll open map, zoom into area I need and take a screenshot. Then I can edit with a red dot to mark location of downed tree. If you see a downed tree, please mark it on a map, this helps ensure the correct info is getting passed on and a tree on a trail gets removed quicker.
Thx.

Next off the Island.
The trails should be great. Its been very windy today, so the trails dryed out.
That being said, if a tree is down can you take a pictures of it and its location?
Thanks for mapping this. It makes relaying info to the Rangers more efficient.
About as firm and fast as it gets. I’d say you could ride 90% of the loop on a road bike right now.
