    New Jersey Walk Book
    The New Jersey Walk Book went out of print several years ago.  At present, the Trail Conference Publications Committee has decided not to revise and reprint it.  Updated information on trails, hikes and parks in New Jersey is available on the Trail Conference website.

    Route 106 closures
      Route 106 within Orange County, between 7-Lakes Drive and Route 17, is closed for the winter season.  This road has been abandoned by the county and is now a park road.  It is expected to be closed for the same period as  are  several other park roads, from December 1 to April 1, as signed on the various park roads affected. This section of 106 is also subject to wet and icy conditions and is difficult to keep safe.   Visitors to the park may find that some of the closed roads are partially cleared of snow, though signed closed and partially blocked..  The clearing may be only minimal and is for official use only.  The closings are to be obeyed by the general public. Note also that even 7-Lakes Drive may not always be immediately cleared during and following a snow storm, particularly overnight.

    A-SB & Red Cross Changes Will Be On New Map
    The Trail Conference is finishing work on a revision to the Harriman-Bear Mountain Trails map set, and the trail changes in this area that affect the Arden-Surebridge Trail and Red Cross Trail will be on the new map (among other trail relocations, other adjustments, and the introduction of trail mileage numbers along the trails).  Look for the new maps in early 2015!~Jeremy, TC Cartographer

    The ASB rerouting
      The man I saw at work on the kiosk was from this company http://www.tahawustrails.com/index.html and he said that the overlook of Lake Skannatati was "sensitive habitat," and that the changes were to keep people away from that area.   JDB

    Why?
    After so many years of working with the TC, why would the park hire an independent trail company to re-route a trail?
