North Jersey & Ringwood Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Ringwood and the state forests around it hold north Jersey's rockiest riding — Ringwood's technical ledge, Wawayanda's longer loops, and Jungle Habitat's old zoo roads turned singletrack. Highlands gneiss and glacial boulder: chunky, slow and technical, draining well on rock and poorly in the swampy gaps between.
