Allamuchy
North is a rugged piece of topography well-suited to the full-suspension
set. If you're looking for an area to take the kids, the Stephens
and Allamuchy Natural Area are better choices. The North section
is located North of I-80 and West of SR-206 with access from a couple of
points. Our excursions have all commenced from the parking area
near the Sussex Branch Trail on the way to Waterloo Village. If
this sounds vague, get used to it. Markings are very poor in
Allamuchy North. You'll need a park map and a compass to keep from
getting lost. There are numerous loops, comprised mostly of
single-track, that continuously ascend and descend the hillside.
Level ground is few and far between. The payoff is that this place
is a blast. Lean way over the bars to keep from doing a wheelie on
the uphills and get way back off your saddle on the downhills.
You'll do this for miles. Home-grown switchbacks, creek-bed
crossings, and blow-downs are all part of the action. You'll use
all your travel here. |
