Mountain Biking Cheesequake State Park

***   Add a review
#49 of 111 mountain bike trails in New Jersey
#4,040 in the world

The park has a short winding singletrack trail that flows through a section of the park. Some sections are very rooty and wet. There are also some doubletrack trails in other portions of the park.

    As of May 2022 the White trail is the only one open to mountain bikers. It is less than 3 miles long and defined by super short and steep uphill / downhill sections. The trail is also covered in roots and in my opinion should not be considered easy. I'd rate the difficulty as intermediate to advanced level. Expect a short, hard loop that doesn't let you warm up or cool down.

    Not Allaire...but close to my house. Entrance for the 'white' trail is at the commuter parking lot just off GSP Exit 120. Trail is fairly short and has a lot of roots. Not flowing like Allaire. Good for locals to ride in order to improve trail skills, but not worth the trip for anyone else.

    I been in Cheesequake State Park once, and I went with other mtbikers on some of them first time, and some others that been there before. But I feel like we didn't did the park the way it suppose to be done. I'm looking forward to navigate the area and find the right way of doing it. I'm giving 2 start because of the lack information, map and guides. I'm looking forward to update this review. For my experience I think it deserve 2 until I figure out the right, hard and fun way to do this park.

    This park is right in my backyard. There's a lot of trails people don't know about which boosts it's rating from a 3 to a 4 in my book. If you want a challenge, ride the hiking trails, just beware of the park rangers, if they catch you riding there they'll escort you out. Lol. The bike trail system is vast if you know where to go, but not too many obstacles or interesting features here, just straight up single track hard pack with many switchbacks.
