Mud? Ice? High water at stream crossings?

When hikers are in the woods, and the horses hear, but can't see them, that spooks them. Walking around the open, visible area of the parking lot and paddock is much less disconcerting to the horses. On returning and approaching the horse paddock, (about halfway down the hill from the gas line) call out "hikers coming thru," thus giving the riders a chance to settle their horses and move them away from the trail. Update: Sign now posted, advising hikers to call out. It also can't hurt, as you start your hike, to chat briefly with any riders (if convenient), and ask those riders what they would like you to do on your return. Horses are easily spooked and can throw their riders, causing serious injury, so please be considerate & careful when using the Ramapo Equestrian Center trailhead.

Update: Clinton Rd is open - Pequannock Watershed
The bridge replacement is complete - Clinton Rd is open!
Clinton Rd in West Milford NJ is temporarily closed to through traffic. The bridge over Mossman's Brook will be replaced within the next couple months. Parking at P3 is accessible from the South only. Parking at P4 is accessible from the North only for Two Brooks Trail and Highlands Trail heading north. For Clinton West and the Highlands Trail South of the bridge, access Clinton Rd from the South only. (you will have to drive past the barricades in both instances) The bridge can be crossed by foot until it's removal. Then it will have to be rock hopping across the brook until November. We'll try to find a good crossing point for hikers. West Milford DPW has posted detour signs.
