Nepaug

Review: Used to live in Collinsville, this was my go to spot to ride. Lots of side trails off the mains. Once you get past the uphill battle to start it gets fun. Careful on the way down with the loose and big rocks.

Review: Watershed Area State Forest land. Long ago we could drive all the logging roads and park anywhere in the forest. Since 911 must park on perimeter. Night riding possible but only for those who know the trails or you will get lost. 99% unmarked trails. Extensive mix of single track and logging roads. Challenging rocky rooty up down single track abounds. Trails wind up and over mixed topography through deciduous and evergreen forest. Tends to drain well; good after rain. Only view is from lookout on Blue trail, but you shouldn't ride here for the view. Ride here because you want a killer ride that challenges you physically and technically. For those who crave air, there are several runs with man made jumps including some testical shrinking gap jumps. Only way to find them is go with someone or plan to spend a few hours well before dark exploring the labyrinth of trails and logging roads. Well worth the trip for intermediate and advanced riders.
