they are all rockie,and they all come back together into many little loops, but many almost 90% illeagle the sencic hudson was given,or bullied their way into these spots, and the rules state only hikers can go there no motorized,nonmotorized,horses,any thing other than feet should touch these trails. e-mail me if you want to know more, we work hard to get other forms or rec on STATE lands, yet they do not want to work with anyone. but next fire up there come and see who is up there putting their lifes on the line to put it out!! i have also heard no conformation that a wheel chair was ticketed for being here.

this was a very fun ride! Lots of rocks and quad trails definately technical but i did it with no suspension. once at the top you can see many other peaks with great views of the hudson valley, manhattan and the catskills. great up and downhill, I burned my brakes up taking the final descent! i will go back. beutiful area and challenging riding

Customer Service

Park across from deli. Enter dirt road, trail is to left. Up the mountain, bike it if you can (I couldn,t) then down and all around!

a very difficult climb which may take several tries to complete ON the bike.i have not ridden it in a while but when i did this was the smoothest route to the top.i have found that after finally climbing to the top without getting off,nothing else really seemed difficult.there really are some great veiws up there.

Customer Service

park by the water tower(off mtn. road i think) then go farther up the road and crawl under the gate(fire road enterance)this will eventually lead to the reservuor at the top of the mtn.follow the trail across the top of the dam to the left and that trail will eventually lead to the fire tower,which has one of the most spectacular views i have ever seen.

Many steep climbs which can take several times to clean
with lots of loose rocks... technical as hell...be prepared for a hell of a ride. Awesome views from tower in all directions...bring extra brake pads because the descents are sick! These trails are NOT for beginners, bitches, or complainers...Bring your helmet!!

very awesome ride. kills you going up and makes you soil yourself going down. id reccommend bringing a downhill or freeride bike on this trail. i ride w/ my
cannondale and bottom out the shocks every time.
i once rode down this trail in pitch black w/ no lights
at all. scary as hell. i hugged my brakes the whole way down. thats when i just got a new bike so i was afraid to fall. i'd reccommend some dh padding going down this trail, then you can free yourself of the brakes and hit
60mph! maybe even faster if you have the balls to do it. fastest ive gone is 30 maybe. thats because of my bike's stupid headshok thats good for nothing. dont bring the poser-bikers on this trail. i did once and they broke their bike. if you know what your up against
go for it its a hot ride!

YO ALL THE SKI TRAILS YO JUST GO SICK

Once to the top, views and scenery are fantastic. Getting there however, is the hard part. Maybe I took the wrong route but I spent more time off the bike than on. I went up the old ski slopes to the resevoir and then over to the vistas (the lodge, the firetower, etc.). Great to hike on but cmon' if you want to spend the afternoon riding your bike go somewhere else.

Some nice technical downhills but overall way too much effort for limited reward.

Customer Service

Started a couple of blocks north of the deli.

Don't be fooled by these other reviews, this place has a lot to offer. My friends and I can make it up the fireroad without even stopping and my bike weighs 42lbs and has a 7" Marzocchi Jr.T in the front. There is tight singletrack, steep technical climbs,insane descents that would be better on a FS bike but have been done on my hardtail, scattered drops, and lots of slickrock, you just have to look in the right places. This mountain is not for the weak hearted and will put you on your a$$ if your not careful. Do NOT come here if you are a beginner or are not in for a challenge that will test the best XC'er of Freerider in you. I've seen people up here with full face helmets and I sometimes ride with body armor, if your not sick in the head like me then these are not needed, so beware... these trails are NO joke!

Customer Service

Either up from Route 9D or up the fire road off east main street. The fireroad is the quicker way up,but a lot steeper than the trail off 9D
