Description: Awesome, hard, fast, singletrack. you rip through the flat pines of nj and get alot of speed, these trails are well taken care of and offer alot of great scenery. some small climbs and quick descents, not very technical at all so even beginners can have a lot of fun, all the trails are multipurpose so be careful of other users, althogh in the spring and fall this place is like a ghosttown, have fun!

There are three or four possible loops you can do at this location from beginner to intermediate level. Not very technical at all and way TOO tight and twisty, you lose flow so much it gets annoying. It also gets ridiculous in some spots with the tight & twisty. Lots of overgrowth scratching your legs in spots. Not a bad place to get some miles in though. In the spring and summer spray up with bug repellant!
Similar Trail: I haven't ridden a trail as annoying as this.

Batsto can be fun if you want to push yourself to do the 19 mile loop in record time. Mostly hardpacked singlertrack trail. Nothing technical but can be a good workout if go all out.

I rode the trail across from the lake on Rt. 206. It's all sand. I didn't enjoy the trail at all.

Thirty miles of fast fun tight twisty singletrack for bike and hike only. With one long 19+ mile loop. Terrain is enjoyable for beginners, yet the tight twisties will keep advanced riders entertained. You can find the trailhead at the Batsto Village parking lot. And find the MTB trailmaps at the Visitors Center. (Something neither of the two previous reviewers looked for.) If you're savvy with GPS and strong of leg, you can explore the hundreds of miles of dirt bike singletrack too. Caveat: mosquitos, deer flies, tics and chiggers are prevelant during the warm months.

No technical sections, Hardly any single track, Soft packed sand, Desolate trails. Despite all this ,I strongly reccomend this trail. Just pack on the miles and take in the interesting scenery. Chance to concentrate on pushing your limit and build your endurance
Similar Trail: cant think of any that would be similar

The pine barrens are full of sugar sand,very loose sandy flat terrain more of a pain in the b*** not even worth taking the bike off the car for,the only singletrack,the Baton trail is off limits to bikes,this trail doesn't even belong on here
