Mountain Bike
First mile or so is a mix of crushed gravel and tar. After that lots of roots, ruts, rocks and wood bridges. This trail can get very sloppy after rain. Lots of bikes on the trails, but like all trails in the New York City Area, bikes may or may not be allowed. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
