Description: Very narrow and tight turns. Intermediate to advance singletrack. Some sandy fire roads. Several diamonds with some awesome moguls. You better have good slow speed handling skills. The trail is new and is somewhat soft. Needs to be packed down. There are descent signs throughout. Good short workout.
Update: Stay off closed section (East side) which was routed on private property. Closed section is clearly marked and blocked.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Rode this trail only once and it can definitely be labeled better in some areas, I kind of lost my way after going threw the first Black Diamond, then eventually found my way back only to be surprised on how short the main loop was. I will definitely try again and explore some more as a few folks here claim it is 11 miles plus and I only realized about 4 miles.

This trail is now about 11 miles. Lots of tight technical riding. Little climbing but what it lacks in climbing Glacier Ridge makes up for in technical riding. Some nice uphill switch backs.

Is this really Long Island? Glacier Ridge has nice switch back climbs, fast descents, steep moguls, and of course "The Ridges." The trail is set up awesome and it gives a moutain feel to a place where there are no Mountains.

Really zen like, flowing trails. Nothing too technical, just really well designed single track. I went with a few guys that knew the trails which is good because it's easy to get lost- everything looks the same. My buddy said that if you do all the loops, it's about a 26 mile ride.

Still pretty gnarly! Riders keep your eyes open.. Sign at the trail head said " riders beware - the high school sh--- are leaving booby traps". ????Don't know what they are doing.

This is a new trail and somewhat soft. Killer tight and narrow. Some super diamonds with great moguls. This will totally test your slow speed handling skills. Gotta do this one again.
