Parked on Kinney Rd by the lake. Went SE on Kinney and picked up the unmarked trail and followed that out across Waterloo Valley Rd and across the RR tracks to pink. Went ccw on Pink until the T-intersection by the pipeline. Took a right and took pink out to white and took a right. Followed white all the way up the climb and then bombed down. I did later discover that...
Still a fair amount of snow on the ground in many places (2-3"). But, then there are other spots that are completely bare. Its amazing since Jungle Habitat which is just down the road and in the same town is basically 95% bare.
I went to explore some of the trails around Monksville reservoir to assess them for connecting Jungle Habitat and Ringwood on an MTB.

Its relatively small, so I then rode over to Hartshorne, which is possible with very little pavement involved. Its nice to be able to string together both parks. Here are some links to what appear to be current maps... http://co.monmouth.nj.us/documents/130/hartshorne_update_oct_2012.pdf http://monmouthcountyparks.com/documents/130/huber_trail09.pdf
