Description: Many trails to choose from with beginner to expert skill levels depending which trails you choose. It's best to hook up with a riding group that knows the area the first few time you are there. It's a huge riding area approx. 10miles in diameter of nothing but trails. You can check out the forums at http://www.HudsonValleyMTB.Com to hook up with a group there. Go to the "Find or post a group ride" forum and look for "Stewart Airport" or it's nickname "The Buffer Zone". The ride groups that post at this site know all of the really good trails as well.
Also for complete directions other than what I've posted you can check the same site http://www.HudsonValleyMTB.Com and go to "Places To Ride"
This is a type of ride area that once you've gone once...You'll want to go back again and again and again...

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by RoadWarrior on July 21, 2010
Dgilmour1 described the trail best. Just a lot of everything. Quick ride or all day epic. It's there, Some trails are signed, most not. A GPS is very helpful here, but not absolutely necessary as any of the old roads wiil eventualy get you out. Of course where you end up "out at" is another question. Stewart Forest is closed to all but hunters during the regular deer season. Nov 19- Dec 11 for 2011. www.dec.ny.gov/

Nice flowing trails, next to no climbing & very few real challenges. Can be fun to whip through. Good area for new riders.

This place is absolutely great. Pack a lunch and spend the whole day riding on a complete variety of trails from wide open dirt roads, technical deep woods trails to screaming fast singletracks through the forest. This place has trails for riders of all skill levels. The scenery is amazing too with trails constantly opening up into serene settings of open fields, ponds, and swamps. Lots of wildlife everywhere as well. Have fun!

A wonderful place to ride if you have a guide who knows the area otherwise its an unmarked series of trails that you want to go on but have no idea what lies ahead. Great rollers and lots of singletrack to be found for the adventerous out there. An all day ride is no problem in here if you have the knowledge of where you are, a GPS is a must if you don't.

An excellent trail with something for everyone. The basic 9-mile loop is on old roads that run through the Airport Buffer Lands. These roads have not been maintained in over 25 years. There is fast doubletrack, fast singletrack, tight technical singletrack with enough climbs and descents to keep it thrilling.
Similar Trail: Ringwood state park and Wawayanda state park in NJ. Goose Pond state park in Blooming Grove, NY
