Sterling Forest MTB Trails

ADmiKe
Someone posted on here, can't remember who, about the new trails at Sterling Forest State Park.

I'm thinking of heading up there this fall to check it out since it's only like 90 mins from home.

Whats the deal up there?  Anyone have a good map of MTB trails only ( I guess I could check TrailForks)

Thanks

Jason took me there late November last year and I accidentally only posted this quick report on my Facebook page -- forgot to put it on NYSB. Oh well, better late than never. Looking at the pix of him, I think that he's purchased two other bikes since this ride.



With temps in the low 50s and sunny skies, yesterday was my opportunity to head an hour north to the new Hutchinson Trail in Sterling Forest along the NY/NJ state line that people have been raving about since officially opening in March. Put together from scratch by volunteers in a forest filled with hemlocks and rhododendrons, it's a great ride that incorporates nicely designed features, some fun downhills, and a couple well-built bridges. When they finish a new section, it'll create a seven-mile loop. Judging by how many people were in the parking lot by early afternoon, it's already a local favorite.

Have fun!  My boys have a XC meet at Bowdoin in the morning, otherwise I’d consider it.

Just gonna put this here:



I have no idea if this is an accurate representation as I have never ridden this. I would attend a group ride as well if it wasn't 6 hours away.
