I have only hiked at High Point SP. I have never ridden there, but would like to give it a shot sometime soon. I don't really know when I'm planning to take this ride, so I just wanted to gather this intel first.
I have a NYNJ trail conference map. It indicates which trails permit biking:
Trail name (blaze color)
Ayers (black)
Delaware River Heritage (none)
Fuller (blue/red)
Howell (green)
Iris (red)
Life (brown)
Mashipacong (yellow)
McDade Rec (none)
Old (brown/yellow)
Parker (blue)
Rock Oak (blue/yellow)
Steeny Kill (blue) - btw route 23 and Monument (not permitted)
So, I was thinking of this route:
- Park at AT parking on 23.
- Ride down 23 and take the woods road by gate out to Lake Rutherford
- From Lake Rutherford take Iris back toward 23 to Mashipacong
- Mashipacong passed park office to intersection with Saw Mill rd
- Stay on Mashipacong past gate on woods road
- Near Fuller trailhead take left on Saw Mill Rd
- Saw Mill Rd to Ayers
- Ayers to Park Ridge Rd
- Park Ridge Rd to Mashipacong
- Mashipacong to Fuller
- Fuller to Fuller/Life joint trail
- Park Ridge Rd to Mashipacong, blah, blah, blah, back to parking
Interested in feedback and suggestions.
Am I doing something in the wrong direction? Am I missing the best stuff?
Is there a better loop you would recommend?
Thanks in advance!
