Another scenic area is the section between Andover & Newton (between Rt. 206 and Sparta Ave.) It's very natural and woodsy with little history that I'm aware...
The section between Route 206 and Sparta Ave is adjacent to Kittatinny Valley State Park, another park in which I mountain bike. As soon as you enter on the...
Joe, Evidently your wanderings revealed more than I could find. I tried following the spur, but obviously not far enough because I didn't find the quarry....
There is a trail that shoots up to the right from the spur roadbed -- it is short steep climb, then it becomes a level trail. Right now, there are lots of...
Yes, the northern end gets neglected (IMHO) because of that washout just south of Branchville. I'm not sure if the park service takes volunteers. You might...
