Jersey / East Cost Bronco

For anyone looking for a little off-roading this weekend in central/south jersey, the rain and cold temps have made for a really fun trip in Jackson. Go down Reed road and just keep driving. Lots of water, mud and ice. LOADS OF FUN TODAY! Didn’t get a chance to get out and take photos but totally worth it

Thanks BB, I'm in Jackson I will go check it out. Should be plenty of mud out there now.

@broncoBlake

@broncoBlake it looks like the forecast for this Saturday in Jackson is in the 50s.. Do you have any interest in showing people around? If I can confirm my weekend availability - i can try and talk it up with on the Northeast Trail Ride Connections group.

Also looking at the Reed Rd, Jackson map - are the trails the roads going through the Collier Mills Wildlife Management area? It seems the google street map cars did a turn around when they got to those roads so wasn't sure whether they are legally open to vehicle traffic.

@JBMontclair

@JBMontclair I'm actually based out of Virginia but grew up in that area and do a lot of wheeling when I am visiting. That land is open use (no No Trespassing signs anywhere). There are a lot of trails that run through Collier Mills but its not too big where you can get lost, as long as you keep driving straight it will always end up on a highway. The best way to enter is making the left off of Perrineville Rd onto Reed. It runs right behind the Safari and then you can branch off from there. I usually take the first fork to the left and follow that along. Depending on what other turns you make, it will put you out on W Veterans Highway or Hawkin Rd. Also, depending on when you go, just keep an eye out for dirt bikes and quads. If its a nice day you'll likely see a lot of them. I will be back up that way the first weekend in March and happy to put a group together to go back there.

thx for the update. I'm sure a bunch of people would take you up on your offer (myself included).. I have to figure out this weekends plans.. I am trying to avoid any risk of me doing something stupid with the bronco till after I return from some upcoming vacation plans for which she is an integral part. So the idea of doing some light trails as opposed to the PA ORV parks is ideal at the present moment. So far on my Northeast Trail Connections group we had a successful Wharton trip and I would like to keep that groups momentum moving forward.

I just checked and we are up to 3 pages of members and i see this page has 5 so thats not bad. I will put in my plug with this group again that if anyone is interested in actively running trails, either as someone organizing or just joining in the fun - please join up with my other page. There is some talk of going out to PA in march/april and it can be fairly confusing when there are multiple area groups to scan for finding events as you have to cross the regional group boundaries.

@JBMontclair

@JBMontclair I would also recommend making a MeetUp account too. I try to use that as much as possible just because its easier to track how many people you can expect and you can put in all the details of any events. once I figure out what the plan is for the first week in March I will make sure to update both pages on here and make a MeetUp for it.

last trip I created an event in the other group.. seemed to work - Ive havent used meetup before, but i would consider using that as well in future as not everyone in the trip was a forum member as attendees also brought their jeep friends to the party.

Could you please share the address to the Reed road trail in Jackson NJ ?
