MUNSEE-EAGLE / STERLING FOREST
THE NEW MULTI-USE TRAILS IN SOUTH-EASTERN STERLING FOREST WAS BUILT AND SHARED WITH US BY OUR FRIENDS AT THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY TRAIL CONFERENCE: THE NEW 3.5 MILE LONG MUNSEE-EAGLE ALONG WITH THE HUTCHINSON/RED BLACK TRAILS FORM A 7-MILE LOOP CONNECTING THE CARETAKER AND SOUTH GATE PARKING LOTS AT THE FOREST. THE TRAILS WIND PLAYFULLY ACROSS STONE AND WOODEN BRIDGES THROUGH VALLEYS AND RAVINES AND A MULTITUDE OF HABITATS, PAST GLACIAL ERRATICS AND DRAMATIC CLIFFS, CREATING A FUN, ENGAGING EXPERIENCE.
THE MUNSEE-EAGLE IS DESIGNATED FOR HIKERS AND MOUNTAIN BIKERS, WHILE THE HUTCHINSON / RED BACK TRAIL ADDITIONALLY INCORORATES EQUESTRIAN USE. THESE TRAILS ARE PART OF THE STERLING FOREST TRAILS PLAN TO DEVELOP, MAINTAIN AND OPERATE A HIGH-QUALITY DIVERSE TRAIL SYSTEM, WHICH LINK TO REGIONAL TRAIL SYSTEMS AND ARE MAINTAINED THROUGH PUBLIC / PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO PROVIDE AN INTEGRATED, YEAR-ROUND TRAIL SYSTEM FOR A DIVERSITY OF TRAIL USERS.
SHARING THE TRAIL
BECAUSE THE NEW TRAILS IN STERLING FOREST ARE MOSTLY SINGLE-TRACK, SHARED-USE TRAIL WITH SOME SHORT SECTIONS THAT ARE PARTICULARLY NARROW, PLEASE PRACTICE PROPER TRAIL ETIQUETTE. PAUSE AND ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER'S PRESENCE. ALL USERS YIELD TO HORSES, AND BIKES YIELD TO HORSES AND HIKERS. IF POSSIBLE, MOVE DOWN LOW OFF THE TRAIL BELOW HORSES RATHER THAN CLIMBING ABOVE THEM.
FOR EATERIES, INCLUDING QUICK GRAB-N-GO, CLICK THE EAT TAB.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT RIDE DURING MUD AND FREEZE-THAW PERIODS TO PRESERVE THE NEW TRAIL.
