This has been revised as all access to Ringwood directly from NY State is now deemed illegal due to private property concerns. 

The single track is quite rideable, but you will either need to keep an eye open for changing trail markings or follow your prompts on your GPS device. But understand that the places the trail marking change on the map are approximate.

Water is in restrooms at Skylands Manor area on map.
